Gan Ning

Gan Ning was a rogue, pirate, murderer, and thief who before joining the ranks of Wu, served Huang Zu due to the fact he was weak and hopeless (in Gan Ning's opinion). It is at this battle where Ling Cao, Ling Tong's father was slain by Gan Ning's very blade. Ling Tong swore vengeance. After the Battle of Xia Kou, Gan Ning parted ways with the defeated Huang Zu, and shortly after joined the ranks of Wu. It is at the Battle of He Fei where Gan Ning would make an impression upon the forces of Wu, and on Sun Quan, Wu's ruler at the time. Single handedly with a small crew of rogues he managed to push back the Wei forces considerably, even being able to overwhelm the likes of Zhang Liao. Gan Ning is the only considerable fear Cao Cao had about Wu.

The relationship with Ling Tong continued to be from strained, to a civil rivalry between comrades, each one trying to outmatch, or outwit the other in combat. Eventually reaching a final frontier battle between grudges, pain and suffering at the Battle of Yi Ling, Ling Tong and he decided to have one last confrontation, beating the enemy. After this success for the forces of Wu, Gan Ning and Ling Tong have one more "battle" at a game of Go.

Gameplay
In Dynasty Warriors 6, Gan Ning is arguably the quickest character in the game. His skills emphasize speed and his attacks are naturally fast at any Renbu level. His weapons are two short knives, which has a slightly shorter range than his previous scimitar. Offensive strategies continue to work best with Gan Ning and his new undefined -a short range punch to the ground that emits a small geyser- allows him to keep up the pressure near his enemies. Though he lacks reliable crowd control attacks and has a relatively weak defense, his agility will more than likely balance these out in the end.
