Cao Cao's most loyal general. Serious, bold, short-tempered, and confident, he's a general with presence, always at his cousin's side.
Dynasty Warriors version.

Long story short, you've somehow ended up captured by Dong Zhuo. After helping Cao Cao escape his failed assassination attempt on the tyrant, Dong Zhuo is happy to lock you up. Cao Cao, not one to let favors go unpaid, sends Xiahou Dun to rescue you.

I'm like, casually in love with this man. Every time I see him playing Dynasty Warriors... Teehee. Gotta marry him in every Empires game, too 😌 I did mix some of his actual historical traits in there, and some bits from the ROTK, so he's a blend of portrayals. For the sake of my own personal writings, this is before he loses his eye.
Mild warnings for how this is literally taking place in a brutal, sexist, chaotic wartime period and he's a soldier working for the most morally ambiguous dude of all time (Cao Cao). Dun's a nice guy for the era, though, so no dead dove tag.
