Emperor Xian

Emperor Xian is the fifteenth Han Emperor during the Three Kingdoms era. Though young and inexperienced, he had noble qualities that made him more favorable than his older brother, Emperor Shao. He ascended to the throne but was forced to flee after Dong Zhuo's death. Whilst in Cao Cao's protection, the conqueror held more power and the Han empire's influence dwindled.

He is known to have taken a great liking towards Liu Bei and called him "Honored Uncle" or "Royal Uncle".

Roles in Games
In most games, Emperor Xian is usually given a passing mention as the last Han Emperor. His abdication of the throne is mentioned quite often.

During his first Dynasty Warriors appearance, he talks with Cao Cao and Sun Jian during their respective Musou Modes. In them, he expresses his wishes to defend his falling empire and thanks both warlords for their efforts. In the former, he is surprised when Cao Cao declines the throne yet, after hearing his reasoning, dubs him to be a fearful man. Emperor Xian also has a special event in the following Empires installment.

His role in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is mostly limited to awarding ranks and titles to the regional lords in the land. In return, they may optionally declare their intentions to support the Han Empire. When he passes his throne to Cao Pi in the games, he does so because he fears incompetence of his rule and sees the heir to be more adequate for the right.
