Xiao is a pandaren monk found at the Banquet Grounds of the Tian Monastery in the Jade Forest. He is Master Stone Fist's best student. The master would have graduated him several times over, but Instructor Xann insists that he needs more discipline. Stone Fist also believes that young Xiao has a great future in martial arts. After the adventurer attended the banquet, Xiao sparred with them,[1] after which he sent them to Xann and Groundskeeper Wu. He and other students eventually graduated.[2]
He later joins with Lin Tenderpaw and adventurers and searches for the Hidden Master in the Valley of the Four Winds. He describes himself as the "oldest and fattest" of the group of young monks and appears to have a laid-back personality, volunteering to sit and wait while the rest of the monks searched for the Hidden Master. After his team found and trained under the Hidden Master, Xiao joined them to defend the Stoneplow village against the invading mantid.
He can be recruited as a follower in the Lunarfall and Frostwall garrisons.
