Madame Ginseng was the manager and proprietress of The Horny Dragon brothel in Shen Long.
Overview[]
While sabotaging Saxon's businesses in Shen Long, Orthopox advises Crypto to visit The Horny Dragon, a brothel. After reading the minds of some of the patrons, he sees Madame Ginseng. She is reassuring a customer that the photos taken of him are not for anything malicious, and that they are keepsakes of their time together.
Pox tells Crypto to body-snatch her, get a patron to agree to a "date" with her, then reveal that there is an alien inside of her. This will scare off the patron and ruin the reputation of the brothel so they can't get their customers back after rebuilding the soon-to-be-destroyed establishment.
Crypto body-snatches Ginseng, and remarks that she is "snug." Impersonating her, he tries to get a visiting sailor to go on a date with one of the girls in the brothel. But, the sailor wants Madame Ginseng instead. Crypto agrees, brings the sailor to a backroom, and drops the body-snatch. This horrifies the sailor, but also brings the attention of a group of White Dragons. After Crypto drops the body-snatch, Madame Ginseng dies and her brain can be harvested.
