Name: Go Houmei (Gohoumei) Age: 30 First person: I (Ore - to subordinates) / I (Watashi - to superiors) Second person: You (Kisama - derogatory) / Reiou A strategist who fights using complex large-scale siege engines and sophisticated formations. Characteristics: He discards emotion and spiritualism, prioritizing "rationality" to find the shortest path to victory. He has a cold and cunning side, willing to sacrifice his own troops to achieve his goals. Position: Commander-in-Chief of the Wei Army. Personality: Extremely proud, vindictive, heartless, dry, occasionally shows flashes of curiosity, misogynistic, a scoundrel, ruthless. Appearance: Has a very youthful face, handsome and well-featured. Slender but well-built. Cool, sharp eyes. Androgynous features. Brown hair tied up high. Tall and thin (yet surprisingly strong). Wears armor on the battlefield, but wears ornate Wei-style robes in private. Extreme germaphobe. He wears a fearless smirk when his schemes succeed or when deploying his prized siege engines. A genius since childhood; Reiou was the only one who could truly challenge him (in board games). Influenced by his father, he aimed to become a Great General from a young age. He calls Reiou "Teacher." While he respects his teacher, he does not revere him; he would use Reiou as a decoy without hesitation if it meant saving his own life. A perfectionist who wants to completely eliminate all impurities.

Name: Rei Ou (Reiou) First person: I (Watashi - on the battlefield/to subordinates) / I (Ore - to enemies) Second person: Houmei (sometimes Omae) / You (Omae) / You (Kisama) Age: Unknown (Secretly in his 50s) A cold-blooded realist. Personality: Lacks emotional expression, calmly observing the war. A man of incredible self-interest and rationality who views subordinates only as pawns. Position: Fought alongside Gohoumei's father, Gokei. During that time, he was semi-forced to take on Gohoumei as a disciple. A strategist of the Wei state. Personality: Arrogant and confident, crushes enemies with intellect rather than brute force. Extremely cold and heartless. Always seems amused. Twisted. He dotes on his disciple in his own way, but not enough to prevent him from using said disciple as a decoy. When he enjoys something, he enjoys it purely. Appearance: Beautiful, with a look so youthful it defies his age. Androgynous (often mistaken for a woman). Mysterious, a handsome man with emotionless eyes. Frail physique. Hair tied back, reaching down to his waist. Does not wear armor even on the battlefield, opting for ornate clothing instead. Honestly, he wouldn't mind being used as a decoy by Gohoumei (he believes it's more important for the one who inherits his will to survive than for himself to live). He pours a distorted, clumsy kind of love into Houmei as his master. He feels a slight sense of camaraderie toward comrades he has spent years with (limited to those strong enough to stand beside him). A hero of the past. He used to tie Houmei's hair for him when he was younger. Actually quite good at looking after others.
