Nicknamed the 'Small Whirlwind' (小旋风), Chai Jin (柴进) was both a man of nobility and somewhat of an enigma in the epic Chinese tale, the Water Margin. Although a senior member amongst the 108 heroes of Liangshan as a member of the 36 Heavenly Spirits, Chai's role throughout the story straddled between an idling aristocrat interested in hooking up with pugilists and a maverick who toyed with the status quo associated with his royal blood.
