Pang De

Pang De is one of the newcomers from Dynasty Warriors 5 who was cut in the following title. A strong and fierce warrior, he first served in an allied army with Ma Chao and later became one of Wei's most renowned generals. He's famous for bravely facing Guan Yu at Fan Castle and forced the Shu general to retreat several times before being defeated by the stormy weather. In the Dynasty Warriors series, he is 31 years old.

Dynasty Warriors
In the Dynasty Warriors series, Pang De first participates at Tong Gate, in which he fights alongside Ma Chao and Han Sui to defend his homeland against invaders from Wei. Afterward, he abandons the ranks of his allies and joins Cao Cao. He goes on to participate in battles such as He Fei. At Fan Castle, he guards Wei's main base, holding off all enemies that try to enter it.

Kessen
Akin to history, Pang De begins as one of Ma Chao's vassals at Tong Gate in Kessen II. After Wei's victory, Cao Cao requests his service and he enthusiastically accepts. Like Zhang Liao, he can lead an elite foot soldier unit into battle if the players desires it. Shortly after he joins, he volunteers to retake Fan Castle from Guan Yu. Xu Yun, who knows of his past loyalty to Ma Chao, criticizes the general's sincerity. Regardless of his adviser's concern, Cao Cao agrees to Pang De's request. To show his seriousness on the manner, one of his servants dags the coffin made for Liu Bei (Guan Yu in the Japanese script). If the two commanders meet in battle, they will enact a small duel where Guan Yu wins. Though Pang De desires a quick end, the Shu general states that he doesn't take the life of small fry and rides off.

Both Ma Chao and Pang De will have a special conversation if their armies meet in battle. If either officer starts a duel, the winner gains a hefty morale boost. Pang De states that their fight will forever clear his name from indignity.

Appearance
