Biography
Lim is a Lotus Assassin Inquisitor under the command of the Assassins' second-in-command Grand Inquisitor Jia. He overseers the Assassins' operations in the general area of the trade village of Tien's Landing. He also represents Jia in the Assassins' partnership with Gao the Greater, leader of the criminal organization Guild. Lim and Gao often argue with each other due to their shared preference to being in charge.

Having received orders to find one of the fragments of the Dragon Amulet, Lim opens the Great Dam in order to dry the lake that covers the flooded ruins of Old Tien's Landing. In the process, the level of the river Tien's Landing is dependent on lowers, causing famine and trapping sailors to the land. Lim has other Assassins as well as golems and Imperial soldiers to search the ruins for the amulet fragment. The fragment is eventually stolen from the demon assigned to guard it, Chai Ka the Heavenly Gate Guardian. By the time the last Spirit Monk reaches Tien's Landing, Lim possesses the amulet fragment.

While the last Spirit Monk fights through Gao the Greater's pirate base, Lim is waiting for a long-range flyer called the Marvelous Dragonfly to be finished so that he can use it to bring the amulet fragment to the Imperial City. Much to his ire, however, Gao the Greater's chief engineer, Kang the Mad, is temporizing with the completion of his construct. The last Spirit Monk overhears Inquisitor Lim and Gao the Greater contacting Grand Inquisitor Jia through a magical projection. After Lim explains to his displeased mistress the reason for his lateness, he promises to get rid of a troublesome spy and return to the capital in one day. Once the communication has been cut off, Lim has another argument with Gao. When Gao mentions his son Gao the Lesser, Lim takes the chance to inform the crime lord of his son's death. After the anguished Gao runs off to grieve in private, Lim mutters that should he return to the capital fast enough, he could deliver the amulet fragment directly to Death's Hand and impress Grand Inquisitor Jia. He then threatens Kang the Mad to finish the Marvelous Dragonfly before leaving.

If Gao's pirate base is played through after the other main quests in Old Tien's Landing and the Great Southern Forest, Lim goes to Gao, intending to offer resurrection of his son with the Lotus Assassins' necromancy. The two men are then interrupted and fought to death by the last Spirit Monk. If the pirate base isn't the last main quest played through, Lim departs with a short-range flyer to check on the other operations he's responsible for. He later faces the Spirit Monk with a small entourage either close to the Great Dam or in the Great Southern Forest. In all the versions of the confrontation, he makes a comment about Sagacious Zu, offering some information on the rogue Lotus Assassin's mysterious past. Once Lim is death, the Spirit Monk claims the second piece of the Dragon Amulet.
