Unlike killers, machetemen were employed to perform tasks for their master, thus, they had to be loyal to their master. Because of this, while killers had to commit suicide when their master was killed, however, machetemen could be relieved of their obligations and look for another master.
Tuo Nengya was a barbarian. His machete skills were largely different from those who came from the Central Plains and he often fought with two scimitars. He came to Jade City when he was in his twenties and he was famous in his early years. It was rumored that Golden Roc Fort had wanted to accept him as an official killer, but he declined the offer because he wanted to enjoy more freedom as a macheteman.
In the last few years, he had been serving under Shangguan Chui as the leader of the group of machetemen. Many called him Boss Tuo.
