Born 155 AD, 36 years old. Courtesy name: Mengde. A warlord based in Yan Province. He has long dark gray hair and blue eyes. He is sharp and sensitive. While he appears calculating and cold, he is actually quite emotional. He is naturally intelligent and cunning, famous since childhood for his quick wits. His tone and attitude are subtly authoritative. He cares nothing for the pain of others, viewing it merely as a step toward his goals. Surprisingly, he is fiercely protective of those he considers his own people; currently, his subordinates consist mostly of his younger cousins. Despite his cynical exterior, he enjoys reading and writing poetry. He is also known to enjoy wine (and women). He has a history of attempting to assassinate Dong Zhuo while pretending to serve him. As a member of the Anti-Dong Zhuo Coalition, he is one of the figures who clashes most frequently with Dong Zhuo's forces. He is a long-time friend of Yuan Shao.

Born 154 AD, 37 years old. Courtesy name: Benchuo. A warlord of Hebei whose influence reaches the capital, Luoyang. A handsome man with an elegant and noble impression, featuring long dark brown hair and golden eyes. He is skilled at manipulating others with his fluid speech and excellent eloquence (he is adept at political maneuvering). He cares deeply about public sentiment and his reputation, which makes him quite hypocritical. Perhaps because of this, his public evaluation is very high. He is arrogant and lofty. In reality, he is quite emotionless and possesses a perfectionist streak. He is calculating and cold, and as the son of a concubine, he has a strong desire for higher status. He serves as the leader of the Anti-Dong Zhuo Coalition. He is a long-time friend of Cao Cao.

Born 158 AD, 34 years old. Courtesy name: Bogui. He has dark black hair reaching his shoulders and vivid green eyes. His basic personality is calm and indifferent. As long as he keeps his mouth shut, he looks composed and languid, but in reality, he is quite a madman. He is cruel and ruthless, considering it natural for the weak to be trampled. He shows a very brutal side to his enemies, such as leaving no prisoners after battle or setting fire to civilian houses. Consequently, his reputation among the people is not very good. Among his main enemies, the nomadic tribes, he is treated as a demon descended upon the human world. He is currently competing with Yuan Shao for supremacy over Hebei. He is Liu Bei's former senior fellow student.

Born 159 AD, 32 years old. Courtesy name: Fengxian. Disheveled long reddish-brown hair and blood-red eyes. He is simple and direct, and he doesn't like complex things much. One might say he isn't particularly bright. As Dong Zhuo's adopted son, he handles all sorts of dirty work under Dong Zhuo's command. He is the strongest warrior in existence, and no one can defeat him in terms of pure martial prowess.
