Chen Wu

Chen Wu (陳武, rōmaji: Chin Bu) is a military general who served under the Kingdom of Wu. He is famous for having a face that was considered by many to be fierce and ugly.

Historical Information
Chen Wu is believed to have originated from Yangzhou and first entered service under Sun Ce when he was 18, after Liu Yao was overthrown from his seat of power. He was a fierce warrior who always participated in the front lines for Sun Ce and later Sun Quan's armies. In modern conversions, he was about 175 cm (5'9") and considered to be a giant by his peers. Even so, his modesty and politeness made him a popular hero for the people in Wu. Sun Quan particularly admired him for his kindness and was very fond of him. He was dubbed as one of the five scholarly generals that Sun Quan dearly trusted.

In 215, Chen Wu participated in the Battle of He Fei to protect his lord from danger. However, he died during the conflict whilst fighting Zhang Liao's army. According to Pei Songzhi's annotations, Sun Quan ordered the death of Chen Wu's beloved concubine before his funeral so the two could live happily together in the afterlife. His family was rewarded with the tax income of 200 households. He left behind two sons, Chen Xiu and Chen Biao.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms
The novel states that he had a yellow skinned face and red pupils for his eyes. He died in the same battle as his historical account but fell during a battle with Pang De. His death brought bitter distress to Sun Quan and his body was recovered and buried with Dong Xi.
