Sun Jian

Sun Jian is introduced in Dynasty Warriors 2 and continues to appear in consecutive titles. He is Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and Sun Shang Xiang's father. Known as the "Tiger of Jiang Dong" and a descendant of the legendary Sun Tzu, he gained fame by single-handedly defeating a crew of vicious pirates in his early teens. In the Dynasty Warriors series, he is 38 years old.

Dynasty Warriors
First joining the Han army at the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and then participating in the Allied Forces against Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian creates a great name for himself. Some games have Sun Jian participating in a quest for the Imperial Seal, and have him fighting off many forces to get his hands on it. After the Han falls apart, Sun Jian begins his quest for control of the land. Ultimately, he is injured in a battle, that results in his death. Unless playing his story mode, he participates only in the early stages of the Three Kingdoms Era.

In Dynasty Warriors 6, Sun Jian's story mode revolves around him trying to restore the Han while creating a name for himself within Emperor Xian's court. Since he keeps the Imperial Seal within his possession, he is ironically branded as a traitor by the surrounding kingdoms. His ending movie shows him meeting his goal and swearing his loyalty to the Emperor.

Warriors Orochi
In Warriors Orochi, Sun Jian spends much of his time as a prisoner, his life being used to coerce his children's loyalty to Orochi. Sun Ce is nearly successful in freeing him but Sun Jian decides to stay behind to give his son a chance to escape when the situation turns sour. After Sun Quan fails to stop his brother's rebellion several times, he and Sun Jian are set to be executed. They are freed by Hanzo and eventually reunite with the rest of the family. Sun Jian leads the final offensive against Orochi.

In Warriors Orochi 2, Sun Jian tries to keep Wu neutral, fearing that an open war would shatter what little stability the country had regained. Despite this, he sends his officers to aid various other factions. Through the combined efforts of Yoshitsune, Cao Pi, and a few others, however, he eventually takes up the fight against the revived Orochi.

Personality
Sun Jian is a calm man, always considerate and constantly calling himself "The Tiger of Jiang Dong. He is also a loving father and greatly watches out for his children.
