) also lived and studied, until the temple was destroyed in a fire caused by a renegade priest who believed the priests would serve better as mercenaries. After the destruction of the temple, each believed the other had perished and went on their separate ways; Caine wandered and traveled, much as his grandfather had, while Peter became a foster child and eventually a police officer. The series begins when Caine comes to the city's Chinatown section, where Peter's precinct is, and they are reunited after being separated for 15 years.

)

The son of Kwai Chang Caine, Peter became a detective and eventually came to work at the 101st Precinct in a Chinatown district after being separated from his father as a child. Believing his father to be dead and all he knew as a child destroyed and taken from him, Peter was forced to grow up in the "real world," raised by a foster family, and has become somewhat cynical and cold about life and the world in general and, obviously, continues to carry the pain of the loss of his father among other things. In the beginning of the series, he very much personifies the stereotypical, average, big city police detective, having forgotten and buried much of what he was taught as a child; however, Caine often reminds him of moments at the temple that prove to be helpful in his work. Peter has also become a good marksman and regularly demonstrates this skill in the performance of his duties as a cop. He also seems to have maintained some of the martial arts expertise which he learned in early childhood.

Later in the series, Peter undergoes the full Shaolin training regimen and completes it successfully, but stops just short of becoming a priest. He also begins to learn some of the tricks and "magical" abilities that his father uses; during the series finale, he turns in his badge and becomes a Shaolin priest in his own right. Throughout all four seasons, Peter addresses Caine as "Pop," initially to Caine's visible dislike (which lessens considerably as the series progresses). He drives a black Chevrolet Corvette

 during the first season, then changes to a blue Dodge Stealth coupe for the other three. Chris Potter also appeared in all the episodes of the series.

The character was described by critic Jonathan Storm as "one of those seat-of-the-pants, tough-guy cops who always winds up in trouble at the same time he's getting his man."

The Ancient (Lo Si)/Ping Hai (Kim Chan

Kim Chan

Kim Chan also known as Kim S. Chan, was a Chinese-American actor and producer. He was most notable for his role as The Ancient in Kung Fu: The Legend Continues.-Early life:...

)

An old and mysterious "wise man" who has accumulated much ancient mystic, herbal, and historical knowledge, as well as being quite capable of defending himself even in his old age. Most characters refer to him simply as "The Ancient," though the name "Lo Si" is sometimes used to denote him. In the series finale, he reveals that he is actually Ping Hai, one of the monks who oversaw the California temple along with Caine. (Numerous flashbacks throughout the series depict Ping Hai as having the same voice and appearance as the Ancient, but without the latter's hair, beard/mustache, and eyeglasses.)

The Ancient was also part of the Chinese council that protected the child who would inherit the Chinese throne. The Ancient also came to the city because of his daughter, helping to relocate her and her grandfather to the area. After that he kept his distance and watched her grow up and start a family of her own, before revealing himself as her father. He plays a significant supporting role throughout the series. His favorite phrase is "Bloody marvelous," usually said after he has either witnessed or performed a significant feat.

Matthew Caine

Grandfather of Peter Caine and father of Kwai Chang Caine. Believed to be dead. He was first seen in the present time of the series in the Season 3 episode "The Sacred Chalice of I Ching," though he appeared in occasional flashbacks before and after this episode. Matthew was a medic with the Allies in World War II and an amateur archaeologist. He discovered a chalice that was, according to legend, given to Jesus

Jesus

Jesus of Nazareth , commonly referred to as Jesus Christ or simply as Jesus or Christ, is the central figure of Christianity...

 during his wanderings as a gift from a Shaolin Temple. Matthew was reunited with his surviving family in the same episode, having lived for decades near the church where the chalice had been hidden.
