Pang Tong

Pang Tong appears in the series in Dynasty Warriors 3. He is a short lived strategist for Shu who is sometimes known as "The Young Phoenix". Although he's a talented strategist, his odd appearance and snide personality were said to repulse the lords in the Three Kingdoms era. In the Dynasty Warriors series, he is 32 years old.

Dynasty Warriors
As he dies relatively soon after being introduced, he does not play a large role in the games unless the player actually plays him, in which case his Musou modes have him surviving past the Battle of Cheng Du. However, Pang Tong does appear at the Battle of Chi Bi. In most games, he convinces the Wei army to chain their ships together, hoping to make the Wu forces fire attack do more damage. Depending on what installment you are playing on, and what force, his role slightly changes.

Pang Tong plays the second fiddle strategist to the Shu Prime Minister, Zhuge Liang. However, in many of the games, the two share a friendly rivalry with one another, as displayed in the "Illusions of Pang Tong" cutscenes in Dynasty Warriors 4: Xtreme Legends, and the "Acquaintances" cinema in Dynasty Warriors 6.

In Dynasty Warriors 5, Tong's death at Cheng Du causes Liu Bei to join the battle. In his ending, he sits down and watches peasants work rice patties, and when one asks for help, Pang Tong happily accepts.

Kessen
In Kessen II, Pang Tong is introduced as Zhuge Liang's brother-in-law. Unlike his Dynasty Warriors counterpart, he doesn't wear a mask and is portrayed as a young, intelligent slacker who loves to drink. After he joins, he acts as a cunning military and political adviser. He is a good magician but has a weak military stat and defense. To balance out his weaknesses, he usually leads an archery unit and acts as a secondary general for Liu Bei, Sun Li, or Mei Sanniang.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Pang Tong was a strategist of Shu and old friend and rival of Zhuge Liang. He at first served Wu where much regard was placed on him by Zhou Yu, and by pretending to defect to Wei, he was able to convince Cao Cao to chain his ships together, ensuring his defeat. After Zhou Yu's death, Lu Su recommended him to Sun Quan as a replacement strategist, but he came off as ugly and arrogant, so he was not made strategist, after which he fled to Shu with the help of Lu Su, where he was given a menial administrative roll, and spent all his time drinking rather than working.

When Zhang Fei heard of this, he was furious and went to see him along with Sun Qian. Zhang Fei was determined to cut down Pang Tong on the spot but Sun Qian convinced him to hear out Pang Tong. It turned out that Pang Tong's skill was so great that he solved all administrative issues right in front of his startled guests, who reported this back to Liu Bei, who had been given advice by Zhuge Liang to not put him in any menial role, and Pang Tong was immediately promoted to Strategist, where he aided Zhuge Liang in the plot to take the Riverlands. However, he was killed during the battle by an ambush by Zhang Ren, which inspired Liu Bei to fight to avenge his death.
