Xu Zhu

Xu Zhu is a character who has been playable in every Dynasty Warriors title to date. He and Dian Wei act as Cao Cao's personal bodyguards. A shining moment in his service was his participation in the Battle of Tong Gate, where Xu Zhu frightened Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Pang De with his gigantic physique. In the Dynasty Warriors series, he is 25 years old.

Dynasty Warriors
In Dynasty Warriors 5, Xu Zhu appears in various battles. His Musou Mode includes Hu Lao Gate, in which he fights alongside Cao Cao and Dian Wei. If Xu Zhu engages Lu Bu when he appears, Dian Wei will come to his aid in a cutscene, similar to the famous duel between Lu Bu and the Three Brothers. In this installment, Xu Zhu is also one of the few characters to have a Musou mode in which Zuo Ci makes an appearance. First Ci shows himself at Mt. Ding Jun, threatening to kill Cao Cao, angering Zhu. Then, Ci later appears at He Fei Castle, again angering Zhu. Zhu's ending in the installment shows him reflecting on the late Dian Wei and Cao Cao, then Zhu helps some soldiers clear boulders from a path.

In Dynasty Warriors 6, he appears in certain battles, like Chi Bi and He Fei alongside Cao Cao.

Warriors Orochi
Xu Zhu appeares in the first Wei level, Kuzegawa, acting as gatekeeper for the resistance force lead by Huang Gai. Xu Zhu had been duped into joining at first with the promise of food, but Huang Gai had ordered that they wouldn't be fed until they defeated the suppression force led by Cao Pi and Mitsunari Ishida. After being defeated, Cao Pi tells his men not to imprison Xu Zhu, but instead give him food to pacify him. Post battle, Xu Zhu begs for Cao Pi's forgiveness and rejoins Wei. Xu Zhu believes that if Cao Cao were there, he'd be able to solve everything.

Personality
Xu Zhu is a gentle-hearted giant who is a uniquely jolly man in Wei. He's a glutinous fellow and often cites being hungry in someway during conversations. Though he seems to possess a childish intellect, his respect for his lord's generosity and wit makes him a loyal subject. In spite of his strength in battle, he actually doesn't like fighting or people being aggressive towards one another. He sees people who oppose his lord as bullies or braggarts who "just can't get along".

He's friends with Dian Wei as both men are practical in their duties and simple minded. If his friend dies, Xu Zhu will be sadden by the news.
