Zhuge Ke

Zhuge Ke (onyomi: Shokatsu Kaku) is Zhuge Jin's son and Zhuge Liang's nephew and served as an officer for Eastern Wu. He succeeded Lu Xun after the latter's death.

Earlier Dynasty Warriors games mistakenly referred to him as Zhuge Luo, but this error has since been corrected.

Role in Games
He first appears in Dynasty Warriors 5 where his only appearance is at Hefei Castle. In Dynasty Warriors 6, he is also present in the Battle of Shi Ting. The seventh entry has him take a more prominent role by being the strategist at Dongxing, cutting off Zhuge Dan's army. He also serves as the enemy commander at Hefei Castle, declaring his revenge when forced to retreat with the aid of Ding Feng. He reprises his role in Dynasty Warriors 8, though he also makes an appearance in Wu's final battle at Xuchang on their hypothetical route and also lives past his death in order to aid Zhong Hui's rebellion at Shangyong in the Xtreme Legends expansion. In both versions of Hefei Castle, Zhuge Ke always starts near Ding Feng and Lianshi.

Warriors Orochi has Zhuge Luo serve as Sun Quan's replacement officer when players assume the latter's role.

In Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper, he leads remnants of Wu against the demon army at the merged Jiangdong. Although initially beaten in the original timeline, the appearance of Rachel and the further reinforcements by the coalition, led by Ding Feng, Lianshi, and Yoshihiro Shimazu allow him and his army to be saved. He also appears as an enemy officer in Chapter 6 at Shizugatake and under Wu in various DLC stages.
