** He definitely ''was'' this historically; Sima Shi was a very fine scholar of his time and eventually, when he was forced to act as the regent in the Wei court, he handled it very efficiently. Not to mention he was also the only person his father, Sima Yi, trusted at all for any of his plans.

* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Sima Yi was historically noted to regularly express sympathy and concern for the wellbeing of the people during the chaos of the Three Kingdoms era. It's present but often downplayed in his ''Warriors'' counterpart even as his characterization has evolved to be less of an EvilOverlord. Of course, this is mostly a carryover from the novel that vilified him (granted, that happened to most of Wei in the novel, anyway). Historically, Sima Yi was more complex; he's either a WellIntentionedExtremist at best or NecessarilyEvil at worst. [[note]]It is worth noting that he served three generations of the Cao family loyally before he decided that perhaps, his clan may have a decent shot at the throne, given that he was about 60 when Cao Rui died, Shi was about 30, Zhao was about 28 and grandson Yan was 2-3 years old.[[/note]]

More appropriately, it was the promotion of Shi to the post of "Military Protector of the Palace" (中護軍; "zhong hu jun") that in retrospect made it clear that Yi intend to rebel (securing the imperial guard and palace being an important component to succeed in Chinese imperial coups).[[/note]]
