Biography
Zheng Esme
When Sister Hammer named herself as the new Supreme Commander of the Five Weapons Society over its rightful successor, Shang-Chi, Sister Dagger and Brother Sabre approached their half-brother to usurp Hammer. Shang-Chi reluctantly joined them to free his remaining family from his father's cult. (Shang-Chi v1 #1)
Although initially cold and hostile to him, Sister Dagger eventually warmed to Shang-Chi and told him her birth name, Esme. (Shang-Chi v1 #3)
Sister Dagger helped Shang-Chi defend London from Sister Hammer and her Jiangshi army. After their victory, Shang-Chi was named the new Supreme Commander of the Five Weapons Society and offered Sister Dagger a place at his side, who happily accepted. (Shang-Chi v1 #5)
While investigating a rogue Society-operated drug ring in Manhattan, Sister Dagger interrupted Shang-Chi's date with Delilah Wang by delivering a captured drug dealer to the restaurant they were dining at. While Shang-Chi and Sister Dagger argued, the dealer attempted to kill the two with his clawed hands but was defeated. Discovering that the dealer had a Spider-Tracer on him, the two were approached by Spider-Man, who was tracking the criminal while investigating a weapons ring. Believing the two groups were connected, Spider-Man offered to help Shang-Chi with his investigation. Shang-Chi reluctantly accepted but did not tell Spider-Man about the Society, much to Sister Dagger's chagrin. The three discovered that the two rings were being led by King Wild Man, a loyal follower of Zheng Zu who manufactured and trafficked Yeren Root that transformed users into monstrous Yeren. Refusing to accept Shang-Chi as the new Supreme Commander, King Wild Man attached a root onto Spider-Man which transformed him into a Yeren. Shang-Chi and Sister Dagger were able to free Spider-Man from the root while King Wild Man escaped during the confusion. Feeling guilty for Spider-Man's injuries and Sister Dagger's accusations that he was ashamed of his family, Shang-Chi revealed his family's history and his new title to Spider-Man and summoned the Warriors of the Deadly Dagger to remove all traces of the Yeren root from King Wild Man's warehouse. (Shang-Chi v2 #1)
