Zhang Fei

Zhang Fei is a character who has been playable in every Dynasty Warriors title to date. He is Liu Bei and Guan Yu's youngest oath brother. He is one of the Five Tiger Generals of Shu who is said to wield the strength of 10,000 men on the battlefield. Though devoted to his brothers, he has bad drinking habits which sometimes costs him the battle. In the Dynasty Warriors series, he is 27 years old.

Dynasty Warriors
Zhang Fei is often found fighting alongside his brothers and supporting Liu Bei in battle. In the series, Zhang Fei appears in many classic stages, and is portrayed as a strong, yet sometimes foolish, warrior. He first appears at the Yellow Turban Rebellion, in which Dynasty Warriors 6 shows him meeting his brothers, Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

Later, he shows up at Hu Lao Gate, where again he fights with his brothers. If playing as any of the three brothers in Dynasty Warriors 3 or 5, a cutscene will appear after engaging Lu Bu, representing the famous duel in the novel.

Yìdé goes on to support his brother at Chang Ban, holding off enemies at a bridge, and stays by his side when the kingdom of Shu is created.

In some installments, Fei comes to support Guan Yu at Fan Castle. Historically, he dies soon after the battle, but sometimes Fei appears at Yi Ling.

Warriors Orochi
In Warriors Orochi, both he and Guan Yu are forced to work for Orochi as their brother is one of his hostages. After he faces the resistance force, he defects to try and take his brother back by force.

Zhang Fei starts in Shu's forces in Warriors Orochi 2. At the battle of Nagashino, Zhang Fei scouts the approach of Lu Bu's forces. When Guan Yu asks to engage Lu Bu, Zhang Fei demands that he be allowed to fight since he saw the enemy first. Liu Bei agrees and Guan Yu remains behind to guard the main camp. During the battle, Zhang Fei is the one who allows the reinforcements from Wu under Lu Xun to join the battle. Alternatively, Zhang Fei stays behind to guard the main camp at the Battle of Jia Meng Gate, while Guan Yu engages Kiyomori.

Kessen
Zhang Fei is a starting character for Shu in Kessen II. Like the novel, he's one of Liu Bei's oath brothers and a fearsome general in battle. He has three daughters who are -from oldest to youngest- Mei Mei, Li Li, and Luo Luo. When Diao Chan was being taken away by Cao Cao's men, Mei Mei tried to rescue her. Unfortunately, she was killed shortly after. Zhang Fei marches into battle with his remaining daughters to avenge her death.

During one of his drunken rampages, he killed Xiahou Yuan in a duel.

Personality
Zhang Fei is a loud and brash man who thrives in a brawl. Stubborn and prideful, he never wants to turn his back on the enemy and is easily motivated into anger. He displays a wider range of emotions than his brothers as he's known to be cheerful one moment and deeply sadden in the next. Though his judgment may be questionable, his heart is in the right place and he usually knows when to be practical. He likes being in the spotlight if his brothers allows it. His loyalty to Liu Bei sometimes blinds him from trusting others as he is quick to criticize newcomers that his brother welcomes.

Though a menace on the battlefield, Zhang Fei is deeply tied to his family. He is fiercely loyal to his oath brothers and wouldn't hesitate to lay down his life for them. Out of the trio, he is the one who will most likely remark and joke about his brothers' serious behavior. He tells them to call him Fei (or by his style name in the Asian script) and usually addresses them as "Brother". The Warriors Orochi series also reveals that he's a caring worrywart over his daughter's safety. This same trait follows him in Kessen II except he also goes into a boiling rage at the mere mention of his daughters being in danger.
