Huang Zu

Huang Zu (onyomi: Kō So) was a high-ranked naval officer and Prefect of Jiangxia under the governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao. He was ultimately the man responsible for the death of Sun Jian of Wu.

Role in Games
In Dynasty Warriors 4, Huang Zu is at first a member of Liu Biao's army working to lure Sun Jian into an ambush. During Wu's story, he arrives in Jiang Dong to avenge his master's death. At Xia Kou, he starts a boat attack on Sun Jian's camp while Gan Ning and Su Fei buy time to stall the enemy and kill Ling Cao. When Gan Ning defects, Huang Zu curses his former shipmate. Dynasty Warriors 5 has Huang Zu trying to lead Sun Jian into the ambush. If that happens, Sun Jian will be wounded and Sun Ce assumes command the troops. He will even attempt to fight off the wrath of Sun Quan at Xia Kou.

In Dynasty Warriors 8, Huang Zu serves as the commander of Liu Biao's forces against the Sun family during the Battle of Jing Province. Although Huang Zu is ultimately struck down by the Suns, one of his generals, Lu Gong, avenges him by ambushing the Wu forces with a contingent of archers, resulting in the death of Sun Jian. However, in Wu's hypothetical route, Sun Jian survives the battle due to Lu Gong being killed before he can prepare the ambush.

Historical Information
While battling Sun Quan at Xia Kou, his general Gan Ning, who performed the task of defeating Ling Cao, turned on Huang Zu and killed him. Gan Ning then joined the ranks of Wu
