History Characters / WoLongFallenDynasty

* CharClone: While he's not blond, this Lu Bu is masked, rides a [[LawOfChromaticSuperiority red horse]] (with a horn on his forehead armour that resembles the command antenna on Char's Zaku, no less), [[spoiler:[[HiddenAgendaVillain has his own agenda]] and even is the heroine's [[LongLostRelative long lost brother]]]].

* DropTheHammer: His staff is a double ended spiked mace.

* BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: Both characters are more demonic appearing, and use equally [[SinisterScimitar corrupted]] [[DropTheHammer weapons]] with an unelegant look.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Contrasting with the games preceding this game, the protagonist of the game is a completely original nobody with no name, rather than someone with an established identity in history ([[VideoGame/{{Nioh}} William Adams]]) and/or related to a historical character, even if it's through artistic liberty ([[VideoGame/{{Nioh 2}} Hide being the other half of Toyotomi Hideyoshi as well as a child of Saito Dosan]]).

!Sun Jian
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Masuo Amada (Japanese), John Choi (English), Yu Qiming (Chinese)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_0824_4.JPG]]

* ActionDad: Father of Sun Ce, Sun Quan and father in-law to Da Qiao. And he's available as Reinforcement.
* AnimalMotifs: The tiger, right down to using the fur of one in his armor set and using the Metal virtue.
* BadassFamily: He's the patriarch of the Sun clan.
* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler: He gets turned into a [[CatsAreMean Tiger-demon]] upon refusing to help the Taoist in black.]]
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: As opposed to the history or novel, where Sun Jian perished due to an ambush by Liu Biao's forces shortly after discovering the Imperial Seal and refusing to hand it over to Yuan Shao, in this game, [[spoiler:Sun Jian falls victim to DemonicPossession courtesy by the Taoist in Black and has to be killed.]]
* LeeroyJenkins: Subverted. Without telling why, Sun Jian leaves the emergency meeting in Xiangyang and charges to the enemy camp. Even Sun Ce is befuddled since he used to be chastised not to be reckless and doing the same (which happened in Hulaoguan against Hua Xiong). [[spoiler:Turns out that this is a calculated move; he's going to save Daqiao from the Taoist in Black, so Sun Ce wouldn't endanger himself (and the future of the Sun clan and Wu kingdom) in an attempt to save his wife from such a dangerous man.]]
* PapaWolf: He goes out of his way to save his daughter-in-law. [[spoiler:After covering her from elixir-ladden arrows, his first instincts after the DemonicPossession kicks in is to attack the undead archers who are about to shoot the same arrows to Daqiao.]]
* PoisonousPerson: Par for the course of being the one to represent the tiger, [[spoiler: and it being his stat as a boss]].
* RedBaron: His moniker is the "Tiger of Jiangdong."
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: He's the first to be made an example of by The Taoist to show how evil he is]].

[[folder:Sun Ce]]
!Sun Ce
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Shogo Batori (Japanese), Alex Mai (English), Jiang Xian (Chinese)

%%* ADayInTheLimelight: The second DLC, Conqueror of Jiangdong, is heavily focused on his journey to pioneer the land that will become kingdom of Wu in the future.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** Sun Ce and Yu Ji, historically, had nothing to do with each other, as the former died due to wounds he procured in battle. In the novels, Sun Ce was just paranoid against Taoism on his own and executes Yu Ji based on that paranoia and certain political matters, but causes [[TheDogBitesBack the Taoist to haunt him and results in his death]]. In this game, [[spoiler:Yu Ji kidnaps his wife and turns his father into a demon who has to be put down as a result]]. As such, his grudge with Yu Ji is much more personal.
** Due to Zhou Yu being reduced into LastEpisodeNewCharacter, their default sworn brotherhood is either absent or not focused on a lot. Sun Ce's partner in his screentime is mostly filled with Sun Quan. %%Subverted in second DLC.
* BadassFamily: He's the eldest son of the Sun clan.
* DoomedByCanon: After establishing the Wu Kingdom offscreen, Sun Ce tries to hunt down Yu Ji in Guandu to finish his vendetta. Unfortunately, [[spoiler:Yu Ji disguises himself as Sun Quan, catches him off guard and impales him with a sword, with Sun Quan coming too late.]] In the end, Sun Ce is not SparedByTheAdaptation and he'll have to [[TakeUpMySword leave the rulership of Wu to Sun Quan and his vendetta against Yu Ji to the protagonist.]]
* DualWielding: Uses the Tiger Fang Dual Halberds, short polearms with tigerskin on them. They scale primarily with the Fire virtue.
* HotBlooded: As shown in his first appearances, charging recklessly into a few Dong Zhuo soldiers.
* RedBaron: Known as the "Young Conqueror" for his later accomplishment to conquer the lands to be the foundation of the Wu kingdom.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: He's the manly man between him and his brother Sun Quan, since Ce is the more battle-ready and HotBlooded.
* TheWorfEffect: Despite being the HotBlooded, more combat-attuned son of the Sun clan, he debuts by being sent packing by Hua Xiong and then getting lectured by Sun Jian. This is to show that Hua Xiong is a tough sub-boss to fight later.

[[folder:Sun Quan]]
!Sun Quan
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Yohei Hamada (Japanese), Dustin Vuong Nguyen (English), Xu Chenxiang (Chinese)

* BadassFamily: The second son of the Sun clan, while he's most likely not as combat-ready as Ce, he's still capable in combat.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: He's the sensitive guy between him and his brother Sun Ce. Quan is the more soft-spoken brother and wields a single sword.
* TakeUpMySword: He [[spoiler: takes the spot as the ruler of Sun Jian's forces following Sun Ce's death]].

[[folder:Da Qiao]]
!Da Qiao

* DamselInDistress: Got kidnapped to be used as bait by the Taoist in Black to lure out Sun Jian.
* SatelliteCharacter: Daqiao is a surprisingly accurate portrayal of females in the era (unlike Hong Jing and Zhen): She's only there for being a part of the Sun clan, and has a very small role of being a hostage who cannot fight back and does not do much. Women emancipation wasn't really that big in the Three Kingdoms era and Daqiao adheres to the role of women of that age: usually being just an accessory of other men.
* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: It's said that her beauty is comparable to the UsefulNotes/FourBeautiesOfAncientChina (never mind that [[spoiler:one of them is in the game's cast (Hong Jing as Diao Chan)]]). Her bio says that her qualities are basically [[AllYourPowersCombined the four beauties' features combined.]] (Making fishes sink, birds forgetting to fly and making the moon and flowers shy away)

[[folder:Huang Gai]]
!Huang Gai

* AnIcePerson: Uses the Water Phase spell Frozen Spear Trap during his sub-mission boss fight.
* DualBoss: Alongside Cheng Pu and Han Dang in a side-mission.
* DualWielding: His weapon is the Hook Blades of King Helu, a pair of curved sabres.

[[folder:Cheng Pu]]
!Cheng Pu

* DualBoss: Alongside Huang Gai and Han Dang in a side-mission.

%%* TheStrategist: For Sun Clan.

!Taishi Ci

%%* AnIcePerson: Used the Water Phase to combine his bow and sword skills.
%%* ChoiceOfTwoWeapons: He wields a bow in battle in addition to his main weapon, the {{BFS}}.

%%* FinalBoss: of the second DLC.

[[folder:Gan Ning]]
!Gan Ning

%%* DefeatMeansFriendship: Played with. After his defeat, he didn't join the Sun clan. However, after receiving an offer from Zhou Yu, he think about doing so.
%%* DivingKick: one of his frequently attack move.
%%* NothingPersonal: He doesn't has any personal motives to attack Sun clan's ships, it's just business.
%%* PowerFist: Used a pair of knuckles as his attacks are mainly fists and kicks.
%%* Pirate

!Cao Cao's Forces
[[folder:Cao Cao]]
!Cao Cao
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KazuhikoInoue (Japanese), Allen Chan (English), Tang Shuiyu (Chinese)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_0823_15.JPG]]

* AnimalMotifs: The vermillion bird, as he uses the Zhuque divine beast in a friendly duel. His sword also has an engraving of said bird on it.
* CastingGag: His [[Creator/KazuhikoInoue Japanese voice actor]] is the same as Oda Nobunaga's in ''VideoGame/{{Nioh 2}}'', mostly because Creator/KoeiTecmo treats Cao Cao and Nobunaga as counterparts to each other.
* {{Foil}}: To Liu Bei, being seen as the more morally grey and pragmatic of the two, while Liu Bei was seen as the more openly benevolent.
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Generally, Cao Cao is seen in a better, if a bit pragmatic and unscrupulous, light than his novel counterpart. In particular, how he gets Guan Yu on his side on the beset of the Battle of Guandu is certainly presented in a much better light: Cao Cao is not the one who orchestrated the separation between the three friendly brothers; they are separated by Yuan Shao's surprise attack, armed with demonic forces, right after defeating Lu Bu. Also cornered with this surprising event, Cao Cao has a chance meeting with Guan Yu alone and both mutually agree to help each other for their own goals.
* UnscrupulousHero: He's more morally grey than his compatriots. According to his bio, he's said to be a menace in times of peace but an unscrupulous ''hero'' in times of chaos.

[[folder:Xiahou Dun]]
!Xiahou Dun
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Tomoyuki Shimura (Japanese), Jammie Yamaguchi (English), Zhang Rulin (Chinese)

* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:He gets turned into a demon by an Elixir-laced arrow that pierces his left eye. Thankfully, he gets better.]]
* EyeScream: His eye gets pierced by an arrow as per usual, [[spoiler: but this time, it's no normal arrow]].
* EyepatchOfPower: He does get one after the arrow, naturally. [[spoiler:However, this time it's a makeshift version using his jade as the patch.]]
* NumberTwo: He is Cao Cao's right-hand man and second-in-command of Cao Cao's Forces.
* PlayingWithFire: Uses Zhuque as his Divine Beast in a friendly duel.
* SinisterScythe: [[spoiler: His demonic form has him swap his axe for a large scythe.]]

[[folder:Xiahou Yuan]]
!Xiahou Yuan
!!!'''Voiced by:''' KosukeTakaguchi (Japanese), Nick [=McCue=] (English), Hu Lin (Chinese)

* AnIcePerson: Uses the water virtue and his weapon scales off that stat the most.
* BowAndSwordInAccord: His set encourages this as it boosts damage from bows.
* DefrostingIceKing: He initially does not have the best opinion of the player character, but warms up to them after the quest where he aids you.

[[folder:Xun Yu]]
!Xun Yu

* DualBoss: Alongside with Guo Jia in a side-mission from the first DLC.
* SpellBlade: His armor set focuses on boosting the effectiveness of weapon buffs.

[[folder:Guo Jia]]
!Guo Jia

* AccidentalMisnaming: A rare developer example, as the game listed him as Zhang Jiao in the first few patches. This was corrected in patch 1.04.
* DualBoss: Alongside with Xun Yu in a side-mission from the first DLC.

[[folder:Zhang Liao]]
!Zhang Liao

* AFatherToHisMen: He accepts joining Cao Cao under the condition that his own men can come.
* {{BFS}}: Played with. The jian he wields is only medium-sized. The lightning blade he wraps around it when he draws it, however, is absolutely huge.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: He becomes an ally and serves Cao Cao after his boss battle.
* IaijutsuPractitioner: A variant. He uses a Chinese jian (straightsword) rather than a katana, but much of his fighting style revolves around sheathing his sword, focusing for a few seconds, and then unsheathing it in a barrage of stabs and slashes.
* LaserBlade: A variant. He uses a perfectly ordinary metal sword, but uses his Wood affinity to wrap a gigantic bolt of lightning around it when he enters battle, creating this effect.
* LightningBruiser: In his boss battles, he's fast, hits hard and a lot, and is durable enough to qualify. No wonder he was Lu Bu's right hand man.
* MasterSwordsman: The ''Romance'' portrays him as one of the greatest warriors of the Three Kingdoms, behind only his master Lu Bu, and this is how the game chooses to represent it. He only uses a single medium-sized sword, but he wields it with (extremely literal) lightning speed and thunderous force.
* NumberTwo: He served Lu Bu prior to his defeat. Even then, [[spoiler: he honored Lu Bu's wishes to not say anything about the latter's plans until his death]].
* ShockAndAwe: In both his boss battles, he uses the divine beast Bixie to empower his sword.

[[folder:Dian Wei]]
!Dian Wei

* ADeathInTheLimelight: The first DLC, Battle of Zhongyuan, is heavily focused on him as he suppresses the remaining Yellow Turban and recruits Xu Chu, [[spoiler:and ends with his death]].
%%* BashBrothers: with Xu Chu.
* TheLeader: He is the head of the Cao Cao's guard.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:He becomes a demonic bird-human after he takes the Elixir.]]
* PassingTheTorch: He passes his role as Cao Cao's guard-leader to Xu Chu, [[spoiler:along with his divine beast]].
* UndyingLoyalty: To Cao Cao. He willing gives his all to protect his lord, [[spoiler:even sacrificing his own life and becoming a demon by taking the Elixir]].

[[folder:Xu Chu]]
!Xu Chu

%%* BashBrothers: with Dian Wei.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: He becomes an ally after his defeat by the Protagonist and Dian Wei.
* TheLeader: He is leading his village's resistance group again the remaining Yellow Turban. Later, he becomes the head of the Cao Cao's guard.
* TakeUpMySword: He inherits Dian Wei's role as leader of the Cao Cao's guard, [[spoiler:and his divine beast the Feilian, after Dian Wei's death]].
* TookALevelInBadass: He is already a badass. After he inherits [[spoiler:the Feilian]], He is a complete nightmare.

[[folder:The New Recruit]]
!Sima Yi

* TheGhost: He's only mentioned in the final scene, but he's an important character where he and his clan would kickstart the end of the Three Kingdoms era.

!The Yellow Turbans
[[folder:Zhang Jiao]]
!Zhang Jiao

The leader of the Yellow Turbans. Older brother to both Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.

* OneWingedAngel: His boss form takes that of a large humanoid demon.
* RedBaron: The instigator of the Yellow Turban Rebellion gets the title of General of Heaven, as the rebellion's creed is "The Azure sky/heaven is dead, long live the Yellow sky/heaven!".
* StarterVillain: Like in the novels, he and his Yellow Turbans serve as the first real threat in the story.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Unlike his brothers, who are mostly just sadistic bandit warlords, he seems to be a true believer in his own cause, seeing Demonic Qi as an unpleasant but necessary weapon against the corrupt Han Dynasty on behalf of their oppressed subjects. He has no clear-cut on-screen KickTheDog moments, needs to be goaded into using his demonic powers by Yu Ji, and goes to his death proclaiming his belief in the 'Yellow Heaven'.

[[folder:Zhang Bao]]
!Zhang Bao
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Kanehira Yamamoto (Japanese), Robb Moreira (English)
One of the leaders of the Yellow Turbans, Younger brother to Zhang Jiao and older brother to Zhang Liang,

* GetBackHereBoss: Constantly teleports around during the battle against him and attacks with magic fire from afar, forcing the player to repeatedly approach him if they want to damage him.
* OneWingedAngel: {{Subverted}}. He was already a demon, unlike his brothers.
* PlayingWithFire: He specializes in fire magic.
* RedBaron: General of Earth.

[[folder:Zhang Liang]]
!Zhang Liang
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YasuhiroMamiya (Japanese), Creator/BrentMukai (English), Maomao (Chinese)

One of the Yellow Turbans leaders, younger brother to both Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao.

* BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: A large, muscular man that carries the Great Club Of Polaris, an equally large spiked mace.
* EvilCounterpart: Of Zhang Fei. They're both large men who love battle, are the youngest of three brothers, and had a similar appearance. Zhang Liang, however, is purely a brute and lacks Zhang Fei's good nature.
* RedBaron: General of Man.
* OneWingedAngel: His mutated form gives him an elongated arm that can stretch.
* WakeUpCallBoss: His first form is a WarmUpBoss that gives tells on when to deflect. His second form, on the other hand, is not only much stronger, but also has delayed attacks that punishes panic mashing.

!Dong Zhuo's Forces
[[folder:Dong Zhuo]]
!Dong Zhuo
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShinpachiTsuji (Japanese), Creator/MikePollock (English), Zhang Yaohan (Chinese)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_0826_8.jpg]]
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Normally, media depictions show him to be a hideous, ogreish FatBastard. This game, however, takes the approach of ''Manhua/RavagesOfTime'', emphasising his history as a mighty warlord by making him an athletic and darkly handsome BigBeautifulMan.
* AdaptationalBadass: Even when portrayals of him choose to mention his impressive military history and personal might, it's usually only to contrast it with how badly he's gone to seed. This one, however, is not only a cunning CombatPragmatist but a brutally powerful warrior who gives the protagonist a serious run for their money (and even manages to leave the fight largely on his own terms after he realises it's going against him).
* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: Combined with AdaptationalJerkass. The novel credited Dong Zhuo's downfall to his own lust to Diao Chan, it's because of that his relationship with Lu Bu crumbles and he is killed by Lu Bu as a result of fighting over Diao Chan. In this game, [[spoiler:while Dong Zhuo appreciates Diao Chan/Hong Jing's dance, he doesn't have any forms of lust towards her. This means that he sees Diao Chan/Hong Jing as nothing special, so he's free to use her as a HumanShield hostage against the protagonist. Too bad he fails to realize [[BigBrotherInstinct the actual relation between Lu Bu and Diao Chan.]]]]
* BigBadWannabe: Even if he's presented as a big threat that united many warlords to form a coalition to stop him (not to mention having the mighty Lu Bu on his side), in the end, he [[spoiler: turns out to be only a pawn of the Taoist in Black]].
* CombatPragmatist: While he's one of the biggest AdaptationalBadass takes on Dong Zhuo in fiction, it doesn't make him any more inclined to fight fair. He backs up his devastating glaive attacks with kicks, shoves, grapples, and lots and lots of poisoned darts. Even his SwordBeam attacks read like feints that will likely catch a player completely off guard the first time around, thinking they've avoided a simple downward chop (or that they only have to deflect/dodge one shockwave when the second one is right behind it).
* DirtyCoward: Downplayed; he angrily makes a run for it [[KnowWhenToFoldEm when he realizes he's beaten]], then [[spoiler: attempts to take Hong Jing as hostage upon seeing that she was conveniently there]].
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler: He's surprised that Lu Bu kills him, after the latter was seemingly nothing but supportive]].
* EvilIsBigger: A legendarily depraved EvilChancellor who's the largest entirely human character in the game - one or two others match him in height, but none of them have his sheer bulk.
* EvilChancellor: He used Zhang Rang's death to achieve absolute authority, and immediately set about abusing it to indulge his own cruelty and hedonism.
* FlechetteStorm: His primary ranged attack consists of throwing out shotgun-like spreads of poisoned darts - later on in the fight, he'll do it four times in rapid succession.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Unlike Zhang Rang before him, he doesn't show fear when he runs away, but anger, upon realizing the protagonist can kill him. Even his escape involves creating an opening for himself with a BarehandedBladeBlock to show that he's still got a fair amount of gas in the tank.
* LightningBruiser: His attacks aren't elegant, but they're astonishingly fast and powerful, and he can cross the room and start slicing you apart with his massive glaive much more quickly than you might hope.
* PoisonousPerson: He throws poison daggers at you in his boss fight, and his weapon scales off the metal virtue.
* StoutStrength: Living the good life as an EvilChancellor has clearly had an impact on his waistline, but it hasn't affected his combat prowess as much as you might reasonably expect. He's still the mighty warlord who bulldozed into Luoyang after clearing up the Ten Eunuchs.
* SwordBeam: In the second half of his fight, he begins to use a couple of ranged Critical Blows that launch shockwaves of Demonic Qi at the player with slices of his glaive.
* UnskilledButStrong: Downplayed. His attacks are visibly less refined and more reliant on brute strength than those of his three StrongAndSkilled subordinates (Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Hua Xiong), but he's still an adequately competent fighter with a few genuinely fancy moves (like his SwordBeam, his triple spinning stab, and his leaping glaive throw) and an impressively quick draw on his poisoned needles.

[[folder:Lu Bu]]
!Lu Bu
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShinshuFuji (Japanese), Nicholas Andrew Louie (English), Zhang Duo (Chinese)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lu_bu_wlfd.png]]

* AdaptationalHeroism: [[spoiler:While he still works for Dong Zhuo, his goal isn't to usurp him and become his own ruler or any fortunes, but to prevent a war between Yu Ji's demonized forces and the Hermits of Tianzhu. For that reason, he hides his identity to get close to and stop Yu Ji alone to keep his sister and village safe. And he certainly did not get bribed or murder anyone when he went to apply for a position in Dong Zhuo's army, unlike in both history and novel where he did so to his liege/adopted father Ding Yuan (who's AdaptedOut here).]]
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Lu bu's biggest flaw in life was his poor hindsight, which ended up costing him his life. Here, [[spoiler: he's aware of the costs of using the elixir as well as the corruption it causes. He even feigns his allegiance to Dong Zhuo]].
* BigBrotherInstinct: [[spoiler: He kills Dong Zhuo after the latter tried to take Hong Jing hostage, a sign that this was a more humanized version of him.]]
* ChoiceOfTwoWeapons: For once, besides his signature halberd, Lu Bu also uses a bow as historically, his specializations were in horseback and archery.
* CharClone: While he's not blond, this Lu Bu is masked, rides a [[LawOfChromaticSuperiority red horse]] (with a horn on his forehead armour that resembles the command antenna on Char's Zaku, no less), [[spoiler:[[HiddenAgendaVillain has his own agenda]] and even is the heroine's [[LongLostRelative long lost brother]]]].
* CoolHorse: Red Hare, as per usual. He rides it in his first boss fight.
* CoolMask: Uniquely among adaptations of Lu Bu, this version wears a mask as a part of his helmet. [[spoiler:This is to hide his identity from certain individuals, like his sister or the Taoist in Black.]]
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler:Instead of being executed by Cao Cao in the Battle of Xiapi, Lu Bu is turned into a demon by Yu Ji and had to be killed by the protagonist this time.]]
* TheDragon: Once again, he's being the second in command of the tyrant Dong Zhuo, [[spoiler: [[HiddenAgendaVillain though he has his own agenda.]]]]
* DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler:In his final moment, he makes the protagonist promise to kill Yu Ji [[GoOutWithASmile as he exhaled his final breath]] [[DiedInYourArmsTonight with his beloved sister beside.]]]]
* FieryStoic: Despite being a boss that uses the Fire virtue, he's a level-headed individual.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** In the 12th main mission ''The Way of the Warrior'', [[spoiler: Liu Bei and Zhang Fei both comment that he had Liu Bei's family captured, but they were soon released with no strings attached, while noting that he's known for his ruthlessness]].
** There are no demonized soldiers in the 13th main mission ''Lu Bu, Mightiest Among Men'', [[spoiler: despite the fact that he has Dong Zhuo's leftover elixirs.]]
* {{Hunk}}: As is often the case, he's portrayed a towering juggernaut of a man who's also dashingly handsome, with his general physical perfection serving as a contrast to his slovenly FatBastard master. Due to his AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul with Diao Chan, it's not intended to set him up as a tragic romantic antihero this time, but [[spoiler:to set up his AdaptationalHeroism by indicating that BeautyEqualsGoodness.]]
* TheJuggernaut: With or without his Red Hare, no one can stand a chance against him. If that's not enough, [[spoiler: there is his [[OneWingedAngel demon form.]]]]
* OneWingedAngel: In his final fight again the protagonist, [[spoiler: [[DemonicPossession unwillingly]] by Yu Ji]].
* OurCentaursAreDifferent: [[spoiler: His demon form resembles this, as a wicked fusion of himself and Xiezhi]].
* PlayingWithFire: Certain critical blows imbue his weapons with fire for a certain period if they aren't countered.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:The Diao Chan of this game is an identity assumed by his sister, Hong Jing.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: He takes the elixir after killing Dong Zhuo not to use it himself, but to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands and to lure out Yu Ji in an attempt to kill him.]]
* WorldsStrongestMan: Per the usual tradition, Lu Bu stays as one of the most feared warriors in the battlefield during his time.

[[folder:Hua Xiong]]
!Hua Xiong

* AnimalMotifs: The bear, as his set is called the Brutal Ursine Warrior
* BeefGate: You can try to get to the Lu Bu boss fight when you get near the gate, but Hua Xiong will be defending the entrance at morale level 20, when you're possibly still too low of a rank, and then there's his own subordinate who will invade you if you don't take care of him first.
* DropTheHammer: His staff is a double ended spiked mace.
* SpikesOfVillainy: The armor set he wears has a few spikes on them.

!Yuan Shao's Forces
[[folder:Yuan Shao]]
!Yuan Shao
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/FuminoriKomatsu (Japanese), Creator/JasonGriffith (English)

* AdaptationalVillainy: Yuan Shao is supposed to be ambitious, but not moreso than the rest of the warlords during the era. He lost the battle of Guandu purely because he's outwitted by Cao Cao (and since Cao Cao is the villain of the novel, Yuan Shao is portrayed at worst an ineffectual leader, but has better moral high ground compared to Cao Cao). In this game, [[spoiler:he takes cue from Yuan Shu about being DrunkWithPower when he has the tool to do so (the elixir instead of the Imperial Seal) and plans to form his own kingdom ontop of using demons for his personal army. This causes Lady Zhen to leave him out of disgust, while Cao Cao, despite still being the UnscrupulousHero, has clearer moral high ground compared to Yuan Shao.]]
* AlasPoorVillain: In his dying breath, he admits that [[TheFellowshipHasEnded the breaking of the coalition against Dong Zhuo]] has shattered his spirit and opinion about friendship and was jealous at how Cao Cao still managed to keep himself together. He wishes Cao Cao good luck in his quest to claim the land, and Cao Cao carries him with PietaPlagiarism, respecting the death of his old friend.
* AmbitionIsEvil: He gets ahold of the elixir and loses what moral high ground he had left.
* AnimalMotifs: The black tortoise.
* TheCaligula: [[spoiler: He starts to form his own kingdom using the elixirs]]
* CynicismCatalyst: Yuan Shao began as an upstanding and honorable man. However, his outlook on life and honor takes a downturn after witnessing the horror of Luoyang ablaze, and the coalition he formed to take down the tyrant dissolved right after. At this point, he starts seeing how futile and meaningless 'friendship' is. [[spoiler:Yu Ji takes advantage of this, turning him into a tyrant later on.]]
* EvilIsDeathlyCold: He uses the Water virtue, where his demon form [[spoiler: has him fuse with Xuanwu.]]
* KickTheDog: He [[spoiler: turned Liu Bei into a demon for no apparent reason other than to spite Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, even though he could have just fled there]].
* ThePoorlyChosenOne: Lady Zhen believe he is the man of prophecy who will save the land, and at first, Yuan Shao really has what it takes. [[spoiler: This lasts until the burning of Luoyang and the dissolution of the coalition against Dong Zhuo, as not only Yuan Shao TookALevelInCynicism, Zhen realizes that his bright star is fading fast.]]
* PreFinalBoss: [[spoiler: He's the last obstacle before the three phases against Yu Ji]].
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He's surprisingly similar to [[Videogame/Nioh2 Tokichiro]] in that he's a decent guy before becoming arrogant and DrunkWithPower, and [[spoiler: serves as the PreFinalBoss]].

[[folder:Lady Zhen]]
!Lady Zhen
* AdaptationalBadass: Downplayed. In both history or novel, she never got into a battlefield, what with [[StayInTheKitchen being a normal woman in timeline and all.]] In this game, she's allowed to ride horses and charge with the army, which is already impressive for woman in the timeline. But, she's usually delegated to support and medical duties and do not involve herself in actual battles or espionage, unlike the protagonist or Hong Jing.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Novel-wise, she debuts shortly after the battle of Guandu where Yuan Shao's forces have been thoroughly decimated. In here, she appears as early as the battle of Hulao Gate.
* {{Astrologer}}: In this continuity, she has a hobby of reading the stars to try and predict the future.
* BrokenPedestal: Her faith in Yuan Shao is shattered [[spoiler: once she saw him use the elixirs for his own gain]].
* DamselInDistress: She's held captive in a jail hosted by Zhang Rang, and is wounded, but not severely so, thanks to Baishe keeping her alive.
* MythologyGag: She gives out a quest to cleanse parts of Guandu on the behest of Goddess of Luo River. In various popular cultures in China, Zhen herself is associated with the Goddess, considered as her incarnation.
* NiceGirl: She's nothing but coordinal towards the Protagonist.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Yuan Shao in this continuity does not father any sons, therefore, Zhen is just a mere acquaintance/stranger with him, not daughter-in-law.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Yan Liang & Wen Chou]]
Two of Yuan Shao's main generals.

* BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: Both characters are more demonic appearing, and use equally [[SinisterScimitar corrupted]] [[DropTheHammer weapons]] with an unelegant look.
* DemonicPossession: When fought, they're already demonized thanks to Yuan Shao's FaceHeelTurn.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Originally, they die in a separate place (Baima for Yan Liang and Yanjin for Wen Chou) and separate time (Yan Liang dies first, and Wen Chou follows later) and arguably by the same person (both are killed by Guan Yu in the novel, but only Yan Liang died that way in history, Wen Chou just simply lost a normal battle and killed by troops). In this game, they both die in the same place and almost the same time since they're fought as a DualBoss, and who killed them are a combination of the novel and history; Guan Yu is there to represent his novel killings, while the Protagonist refer to history, where Wen Chou died in a normal battle.
* DishingOutDirt: Wen Chou's hammer scales off Earth.
* DualBoss: They're fought together in Guandu. The good thing for you is that you fight them while accompanied with their killer in the novel: Guan Yu.
* ForceAndFinesse: Yan Liang is the smaller of the two and used a curved sabre, while Wen Chou is the larger and uses a hammer.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: One of their attacks has Wen Chou spin Yan Liang around to throw him as a critical blow.
* MythologyGag: Their opening scene shows Yan Liang getting killed in one strike by Guan Yu... just like in history or novel alike (although Yan Liang spices it up by being the one initiating the surprise attack instead of the other way around). Of course, the difference is that Wen Chou is nearby and he has the tool to revive Yan Liang...
* PlayingWithFire: Yan Liang's weapon scales off fire, and its unique martial art can buff itself with Fire Damage provided you have positive spirit.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Usually, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are just unrelated friends in the same force. In this continuity, they're referred to be brothers. How they retain their names can be excused with the possibility that it's just sworn brotherhood, just like Guan Yu and his brothers.
* SelfRecoverySurprise: They have to be killed in a close time frame together, otherwise after a few seconds, the surviving boss will revive the other. The surprise is lessened with Guan Yu saying that they're fated to die together, but it may take players who don't pay attention by surprise.

!Other Characters
[[folder:Blindfolded Boy]]
!Blindfolded Boy

An unknown individual who has blindfolded himself. Initially aiding the protagonist, he's later captured and transformed by the Taoist in Black. In his last moments of consciousness, he resurrects the protagonist with the Jade.

* AgeLift: [[spoiler:ZigZagged. Historically, Zhuge Liang was around four years old during the Yellow Turbans Rebellions. Here, he is at least a pre-teen at the story's start. However, he stopped aging under Yu Ji's control, so when the protagonist frees him, he grows up to what would be around a young adult in the final scene.]]
* BadassInDistress: He's clearly powerful and important in his own right, but the Taoist in Black captures him and makes him do his bidding as a demon.
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: He's [[spoiler:a young Zhuge Liang.]]
* CharacterTitle: Not even immediately apparent, but Wo Long is Chinese for [[spoiler:Sleeping Dragon, one of Zhuge Liang's most well-known epithets.]]
* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:Yu Ji possesses his body at the end of the story, making him technically serve as the FinalBoss of the game. Fortunately you are able to exorcise Yu Ji out of his body.]]
* ForeseeingMyDeath: [[spoiler:In TheStinger, he, as Zhuge Liang, witnesses his own demise by overworking in Wuzhang Plains years in the future.]]
* IconicItem: Cleverly, omitting a certain item helps obfusticate his identity. Said item is [[spoiler:the feather fan of Zhuge Liang. He gets that and a version of Zhuge's hat at the end of the game.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: It's very hard to talk about his identity without revealing that he's [[spoiler:actually Zhuge Liang, mostly through key items such as his feather fan]].

[[folder:Zhu Xia]]
!Zhu Xia

A wayfarer blacksmith who meets the protagonist during The Yellow Turban Rebellion. She later moves to the Hidden Village.
----
* TheBlacksmith: The one the protagonist meets for upgrades and the like.
* WeBuyAnything: Players can sell accessories, armor, crafting materials, items, and weapons to her for copper.

[[folder:Zhang Rang]]
!Zhang Rang

* DirtyCoward: He makes a run for it after his boss fight, scared out of his wits after his attempt to scare the player and Cao Cao fails. He then tries to plead with Dong Zhuo, but is then ruthlessly killed.
* EunuchsAreEvil: He's one of the Ten Eunuchs and he's downright repulsive and nasty, making Luoyang a hellish landscape for consolidating his own power and influence.
* MesACrowd: His boss fight involves him summoning a dozen clones of himself at a time to overwhelm the player.
* SmugSnake: He constantly taunts you in the beginning half of the fight.

[[folder:Jia Xu]]
!Jia Xu

%%* MinorMajorCharacter: He is the mastermind behind one of Cao Cao's lost at Wan Castle however his only in-game appearance is as OptionalBoss.

[[folder:Taoist in Black]]
!Yu Ji
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Yohei Tadano (Japanese), Jesse Inocalla (English), Gui Zhengjian (Chinese)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_0825_3.JPG]]

A mysterious Taoist searching for an elixir that can grant immortality. His name is based on Gan Ji. He takes control of Yinglong by becoming Xielong at the start of the story.

* BigBad: He's ultimately the one driving the conflict of the main story.
* CastingAShadow: While dark is not an element in this game, some of his sword attacks has his sword wreathed in black flames.
* CharacterTic: He tends to lick his lips when things (are about to) go his way. [[spoiler: This is an immediate clue that he's still alive and possessing the Blindfolded Boy in the final fight; and previously, how you can tell that Sun Ce is ''[[DoomedByCanon doomed]]'' when 'Sun Quan' does this, it's actually a shapeshifting Yu Ji.]]
* DarkIsEvil: His robe is black, just like his heart.
* DragonsAreDemonic: [[spoiler: His fusion with Xielong is as grotesque as the beast itself, perhaps even moreso.]]
* EvilCounterpart: He's the darker counterpart of Zuo Ci. Both are old men expert in Taoist magic, but while Zuo Ci concentrates in keeping the balance of Qi while leading the hermits of Tianzhu in a peaceful life, Yu Ji instead abuses the Qi like hell, bringing imbalance and corruption to Qi along with the tragedies and horror towards humanity, all for a selfish reason of creating the Ultimate Elixir for himself.
* EvilOldFolks: This grandpa is as evil as he is old-looking.
* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:Of the main story ([=pre-DLCs=]) in three parts: his base appearance, his fused form (Embodiment of Demonic Qi), and possessing the Blindfolded Boy]].
* FusionDance: [[spoiler:Merges with Xielong to become the Embodiment of Demonic Qi in his boss battle]].
* HateSink: In the middle of characters that are morally grey in the game, this Taoist stands out as being unambiguously evil so the players can exact righteous fury on him when confronted.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Gan/Yu Ji in the novel and history alike was not at all evil. He didn't do anything in history except being a normal Taoist. In the novel, he just looks 'bad' because Sun Ce doesn't like Taoism and he executes Gan/Yu Ji for his presence alone based on personal paranoia, which causes the Taoist to haunt him to death as a retaliation. In this game, he's an unapologetically evil BigBad who makes Sun Ce's paranoia looks justified [[spoiler:and [[ItsPersonal personal]], due to turning Sun Jian into a demon while also kidnapping his wife to facilitate that]].
* IHaveYourWife: Daughter in Law, actually. He kidnapped Da Qiao to lure out Sun Jian instead of her actual husband (Sun Ce), since his plan relies more on [[spoiler:turning Sun Jian into a demon.]]
* ImmortalityImmorality: His goal is to become immortal, and he'll do anything to do it.
* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler: He's behind all the events in this game, manipulating Zhang Jiao, Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Shao. Zhao Yun also suspects that he may be behind how Gongsun Zan changed for worse, forcing him to defect (and ultimately, Yu Ji pitted both Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan against each other, ending with Yuan Shao victorious and absorbing Gongsun Zan's forces, which means even more pawns for Yu Ji).]]
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: After killing him for good, his bio states that his overall goal for dabbling in corrupt Qi is to create a world where conflict between humans is just a thing of the past. However, the copious amounts of atrocities he committed and how gleeful he is to those atrocities cast doubts about his sincerity to said goal, it's most likely just a convenient excuse to do more evil acts or [[TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget a side-effect of the dark Qi making him forget his original goal.]]
* RecurringElement: Like [[Videogame/{{Nioh}} Edward Kelly]] and [[Videogame/Nioh2 Kashin Koji]] before him, he's a BigBad who undergoes significant HistoricalVillainUpgrade.
* {{Shapeshifting}}: He definitely makes use of his dark Qi to shapeshift into other people. During the sidequest to hunt down the Imperial Seal, the protagonist sees Sun Jian acting very out of character when claiming it; it's later revealed that Yu Ji shapeshifted into Sun Jian just to sow discord in the imperial court and discredit the Sun clan. Likewise, [[spoiler:he shapeshifts into Sun Quan to get close enough to Sun Ce and kill him.]]
* SmugSnake: Everytime he claims a victim [[spoiler:(Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Lu Bu)]], he takes his time to deliver some verbal taunt and escapes unharmed, leaving those left behind in extreme anger.
* TheSociopath: From the very moment he commits his first crime and the subsequent ones, he does so without hesitation.
* VillainousBreakdown: He loses his composure after his first fight realizing he isn't almighty, causing him to [[spoiler: fuse with his dragon. He undergoes it again after his defeat possessing the Blindfolded Boy]].
* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:He kills Sun Jian, making both Sun Ce and Sun Quan wanting to put his head on a pike and put said pike on their main ship when they're about to sail and spread the influence of the Sun clan later.]]
