Dong Zhuo

Dong Zhuo is portrayed as a ruthless tyrant who has usurped the authority of the Han, and ends up being defeated in almost every other playable character's main storyline--even when playing as Dong Zhuo, after winning the game, the end cut scene shows an assassination in waiting. In battle, Dong Zhuo wields a weapon which appears to be a jagged Chinese dao, called the "Horror," and has a penchant for labelling those who oppose him as "insects", "vermin", and "bugs" that should be squashed.

He relies heavily on his most capable officers, such as Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, and Zhang Liao, and will not personally enter a battle unless he is left with little choice. His ultimate goal is the achievement of his "grand paradise," in which he is surrounded by wealth, concubines, freedom to pillage and destroy as he sees fit and enough power to eliminate any and all that would dare question his motives. In Dynasty Warriors 6, he is now depicted as an even fatter person, with more royal armor and a bigger beard. He now wields a huge club, instead of his jagged-edged Tyrant sword.

Role
Dong Zhuo is an imperial general who took advantage of the turmoil of the Yellow Turban Rebellion by deposing the Emperor and supporting a young heir. He is portrayed as obese and bad-tempered, and very concerned with his own safety. He becomes Prime Minister and a tyrant, and a coalition is called by Cao Cao to depose him. Dong Zhuo, along with his adopted son, the mighty Lu Bu, and the beautiful but formidable Diao Chan, faces the coalition at the Hu Lao and Si Shui Gates. Although his demise in the novel is more prolonged, in most of the games he is defeated in battle there and killed. The long term effects of his brief period of power, however, echoed for decades, as most the private army warlords that had gathered to fight him and the Yellow Turbans lost faith in the Han Dynasty. His death began the competition among them for power over China.

In the Xtreme Legends games, Dong Zhuo defeats the alliance at Hu Lao Gate, scattering their leaders and killing Yuan Shao. He quickly sets out to bring the rest of China under his control, defeating Cao Cao at Guan Du and Sun Ce at He Fei. After putting the lands of Wu under Lu Bu's direct control, Dong Zhuo deposes the Emperor and confronts Liu Bei's large army, intent on restoring the Han Dynasty. He destroys the kingdom of Shu, only to find that his greatest warrior, Lu Bu, and the lovely Diao Chan have revolted against him. His fleet engages Lü Bu's army at Chi Bi, and despite the aid to Lu Bu from the remnants of Wu and Shu, Dong Zhuo is victorious over the seemingly indomitable Lu Bu, uniting China under his rule.

Dong Zhuo fights with a longsword, which is serrated in the later games. He fights elegantly, much like a fencer, but takes advantage of his tremendous bulk in his musou attack, during which he flips sideways into the air and lands on the ground, causing a massive tremor. His character is portrayed as somewhat pampered and helpless, and unwilling to fight for himself. He often dies calling out for the aid of his soldiers or of Lu Bu, as he died in the novel.

4th Weapon
of his army. Take out the other generals first, one at a time if at all possible. After defeating Pang De, the Precious Item box will appear in the western part of the map, a little bit to the south.
 * Requeriments
 * Stage: Battle of Liang Zhou
 * First, take all 5 of the enemy bases. This shouldn't be too tough. The ones in the southwest and northeast call in reinforcements if you wait too long, but you should have no problem getting to them first. Now defeat Ma Chao. He'll have charge your base by now, so he'll be somewhere in the east amongst your army. Again, isolated as he is, he won't be too tough. Now take on Pang De. He's the toughest as he waits in the middle

Historical information
Dong Zhuo (d. May 22, 192) was a powerful warlord during the late Eastern Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms era of China. He seized control of Luoyang in 189 after the capital fell into chaos following the death of Emperor Ling and a bloody clash between the powerful eunuch faction and the court officials. Dong Zhuo subsequently deposed the rightful heir to the throne and instated the puppet Emperor Xian.

However, Dong Zhuo's tyrannical and cruel ways angered many, and warlords around the country formed a coalition against him, forcing him to move the capital west to Chang'an. Dong Zhuo was eventually assassinated by his adoptive son Lü Bu as part of a plot by Interior Minister, Wang Yun.
