Huang Gai

Huang Gai is a character who has been in every title following his debut in Dynasty Warriors 3. He is a loyal general who is famous for serving three generations of the Sun family, starting with Sun Jian. In the Dynasty Warriors series, he is 55 years old.

Dynasty Warriors
In the Dynasty Warriors series, he fights as a sub-officer under Sun Jian, participating in the earlier battles, such as the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He continues to fight for Wu after his lord's death, by serving Sun Ce and Sun Quan. At this point, Sun Quan attacks the Cao Cao's forces along with Liu Bei at Chi Bi. Huang Gai is given command of a task unit whose goal is to set the Wei fleet on fire. His success allows the smaller armies of Wu and Shu to defeat the larger army of Wei. By this point, Huang Gai is considered a loyal officer, and is given much respect.

In Dynasty Warriors 5, Huang Gai participates at the Battle of Bai Di Castle, one of the final showdowns of the war. If he is killed, Sun Quan mourns his death, expressing his remorse for the man that, "Served his family for three generations."

Warriors Orochi
In the first game, Huang Gai makes several appearances throughout Wei's storyline. He is a leader of a small rebellion force against Orochi and constantly searches for his lord's whereabouts. Although he is released each time he is captured by Cao Pi, Huang Gai is not convinced and refuses to join him. Hearing that Sun Jian was being held at Odawara Castle, he falls victim to an illusion conjured by Da Ji. The phantom appears in his lord's image and Huang Gai finds himself unable to defend himself against it. After he is rescued, he realizes the sincerity of Cao Pi's intentions and joins his forces.

In Warriors Orochi 2, he is back with Wu. He and Goemon Ishikawa try to clear a path for Wu's advancement to Yang Ping Gate and clash with Masamune Date's Army at Okehazama along the way. They are aided by Xu Zhu and Pang De.

Personality
Huang Gai is a muscular veteran who never loses faith in his countrymen. With stamina that belies his age, he is a bold and confident general for Wu. He also has a slight bomb fetish, mentioning it in his conversations or offering an explosion for his comrades.
