Guan Yu

Guan Yu is a Fighter hero in Honor of Kings.

Background[]

Guan Yu possesses a strength of character that fortifies the hearts of his comrades, and a ferocity that shakes the resolve of his enemies. Boasting a sterling record from the start, he never wavers from his resolve to accomplish whatever goals he sets for himself. He values trust and abhors betrayal. After getting to know Liu Bei, his philosophy was further strengthened, driving him on in his pursuit of a faithful brother-in-arms. Astride his horse, Red Hare, he'll charge into the battlefield, swiftly beheading enemies right and left.

Lore[]

Guan Yu was one of the strongest demon hunters in the world. He carried a sword called Soaring Green Dragon, which he had won in a battle with ancient Feralis. The battle cost the lives of dozens of his fellow hunters, so Guan Yu treasured the sword as much as he did his brethren. In a world where Feralis run rampant, even the poorest villages had to scrape together enough money to purchase the services of demon hunters.

One day, a client approached Guan Yu with a request to drive off a human-ferali hybrid. Unwilling to harm a hybrid, Guan Yu refused the assignment. The stubborn client, however, asked to borrow Guan Yu's sword, saying, "Those ferali hybrids are machinists. Who knows how many weapons of destruction they've created? Do you value your sword more than you value human life?" Ever arrogant, Guan Yu was angered. Confident that no one would dare trick him, he loaned out his sword.

The Soaring Green Dragon was returned not long after, but a bounty had been put out on Guan Yu's head. An entire human village had been slaughtered, and all the survivors agreed that the killer's weapon had been the Soaring Green Dragon. Everyone knew who owned that weapon. In a single night, the hunter had become the hunted.

Guan Yu was enraged at having been used and his reputation tarnished. The killer had even sullied the names of his comrades who had given their lives for the sword. Was this a plot by his Ferali enemies? Guan Yu decided to face the hybrid feralis head-on.

Not long after, in a military tent in Ye, a black-robed man howled with rage. The Blood Clan legion's food supply had been destroyed one after another by Guan Yu. The lord's appreciation for Guan Yu's prowess in battle grew, and the ruthless man invited Guan Yu to work for him.

"Join us. In this world of chaos, one must follow certain rules to survive. What difference does it make knowing who is the mastermind behind all this? Perhaps his power is too great for you to contest." Guan Yu flatly refused. "Hunters and Feralis can never coexist." "Only because you are unwilling." Cao Cao said with disdain.

"I'm sorry. Perhaps to you, it is foolish to do the right thing. But I have chosen this path, and I will follow it to the end, no matter how foolish it becomes." Guan Yu left without looking back. He did not know that at the end of his lonesome path, he would soon have a fateful encounter.

Time passed, and Guan Yu found a clue. Entering the kingdom of Shu, he ran into an old client. Senior Officer Du You's manor was up in flames. "I heard the Ferali in the manor ran off," said one of the nearby onlookers. Guan Yu laughed coldly and shouldered his sword, staring into the blaze. He would get to the bottom of this, and this he swore on the name of the Soaring Green Dragon.

"Once you have chosen your path, you cannot waver."
