Xiahou En

Xiahou En (onyomi: Kakō On) is Xiahou Dun's fictional nephew and sword-bearer under the command of Cao Cao.

Role in Games
In most Dynasty Warriors titles, Xiahou En is a secondary general who appears during the escape of Changban. Should players choose to slay him, they will be rewarded with the unique sword that he drops, the Sword of Light, in the earlier titles. In later titles, his role is reduced to being a simple officer, though he may appear in other battles before Changban as well.

His role of carrying the Sword of Light is also in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series. In the games, Xiahou En appears as an early officer of Cao Cao. Surprisingly, most games ignore the family relations between him and the rest of the Xiahou family. His battle skills are average at best, with his other stats being fairly low.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Xiahou En is featured in chapter 41 of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel. During the pursuit of Liu Bei at Changban, Zhao Yun, despite many thinking he had betrayed his comrades, goes off to find his lord's missing wife. When he begins his search for Lady Mi and the infant Liu Shan, he is confronted by Xiahou En, spear in hand and followed by ten other horsemen. Xiahou En had strapped to his back the Sword of Light, otherwise called the Blue Blade. The famed blade was one of Cao Cao's personal swords, renowned to be able to easily cut through any metal. Cao Cao's other personal blade, the Sword of Trust, was carried by the warlord himself.

At the first pass of arms, Zhao Yun felled Xiahou En and made off with the Sword of Light.
