Yue-Laou is the leader (Dzil-Nhu)of the Kuen-Yuin a sect of Chinese sorcerers, and the eponymous "Maker of Moons". He appears in Robert W. Chambers' short story The Maker of Moons (short story) from the collection of the same name in 1896.He is said to have been "the old man who unites with a silken cord all predestined couples, after which nothing can prevent their union. "He had "lived in the moon" and is "very old". He had corrupted the Xin, the good genies of China and transformed them into the monstrous form of Xim: "This monster is horrible, for it not only lives in its own body, but it has thousands of loathsome satellites,--living creatures without mouths, blind, that move when the Xin moves, like a mandarin and his escort. "In the short story, it is revealed that he is the stepfather of Ysonde, and is associated with the pack of gold makers. Although he is seemingly killed,his body is never found.
