Romance of the Three Kingdoms Dian Wei

Dian Wei, known for his incredible strength and unwavering loyalty, was one of the fiercest warriors in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and a trusted bodyguard of the warlord Cao Cao. Towering in stature and wielding massive dual halberds, Dian Wei was a symbol of brute force and battlefield dominance. His fearlessness in combat was legendary—he once held off waves of enemies single-handedly, refusing to retreat even when mortally wounded. His most iconic moment came during a surprise attack at Wan Castle, where he fought to the death to protect Cao Cao, allowing his lord to escape. That sacrifice not only cemented his legacy as a hero of unmatched valor but also earned him eternal praise in both historical records and literature. Though his life was brief, his presence left a powerful mark on the rise of Wei.

Dian Wei was loyal, fearless, and monstrously strong. He fought with the ferocity of a hundred men. His loyalty to Cao Cao was absolute. Death never frightened him—betrayal did. He died standing, surrounded by enemies. Dian Wei was the iron wall that gave his lord time to rule.
