Grandmentor

Remember in those Saturday afternoon Kung Fu movies, the old guy?

Long, silvery hair, fu manchu, could float on clouds and ride lightning bolts.

Never the main character, just the Grandmaster the star needs to meet to beat the bad guys and get the girl.

A little mean. A little eccentric. A little ethereal.

There's marketing that says everyone wants to be the hero, but you get paid the most for being the mentor. The guide. Ain't that grand?

If you're into that.

Me?

I like riding lightning bolts.
