Liu Shan

Liu Chan is the son of Liu Bei. During the Battle of Chang Ban, Liu Chan was left behind as the Shu forces fled Cao Cao's assault, but was saved by the valiant efforts of Zhao Yun. After his father's death, he became Emperor of Shu under the guidance of Zhuge Liang. After Zhuge Liang's death, he became corrupt and weak, and as a result, Shu was conquered by Wei.

To this day his childhood name, A Dou, is an idiom for an incompetent person.

Dynasty Warriors
During the majority of the Dynasty Warriors series, Liu Chan appears as an infant during the Battle of Chang Ban as a rare powerup. In Dynasty Warriors 4: Xtreme Legends, he is portrayed as an effeminate and cowardly monarch.

In Dynasty Warriors 5, he takes over the Shu kingdom after Liu Bei's death. He is left to defend Shu's land after an invasion from Wu at Bai Di Castle. Furthermore, Zhuge Liang is busy at Wu Zhang Plains and is unable to help Liu Chan. Only Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Jiang Wei and Xing Cai remain to guard him. Liu Chan is depicted as gentle, weak and untrained. Lovestruck by the maiden, he sorely wishes for Xing Cai to stay behind and wishes he had Guan Ping's strength so he can properly protect her. After the battle, however, he vows to grow stronger to protect his people. Xing Cai's ending scene shows Liu Chan struggling to train with her.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, Liu Chan can either follow his father's footsteps or appear as a random secondary officer. He has one of the lowest stats in the series, coming in at a mere total of 77 points.
