Biography
Eric Bruce Lee was a Golden Gate Park bike cop, one of the best. In his early 40's, he's in better shape than most people in their 20's. Ripped, tan, and efficient, he patrolled the whole of the largest park in San Francisco from the seat of his beat-up old mountain bike.
A series of events and an identity crisis led to his resignation from the Force and the Paranet, and his alignment with Wong Fei Hung's Chinatown faction. He kept the bike, though.
A devoted Buddhist, Eric has an uncanny knack for knowing when and where to show up to prevent problems from escalating. He is of no relation to the more famous East Bay resident Bruce Lee, but his dad was a big fan, and Eric is also a dedicated martial artist. He has been a student of Wong Fei Hung, the Emissary of the Dragon, at his Chinatown kwoon since childhood.
Eric is pretty clued into the Weird these days; the saddlebags on his bike have a flask of holy water, a cold-forged iron knife, and shaker of powdered garlic. If anyone asks, he says the garlic's for pizza. The soy-cheese, gluten-free, vegan organic fair trade pizza.
But all that knowledge came at a price – it led him to trade in one dream for another. Trying to reconcile the mortal and the immortal and the unknowable, and straddle the line between, broke something inside him. He’s been working through the frustration by spending a lot more time with Sifu Wong.
Though no longer an official member of the Paranet, he would probably show up for his friends if he were needed.
