Lord Linwu, renowned as Rin Bu Kun, commanded the Chu military as a formidable general during the late Warring States period. His imposing frame, marked by a muscular build, spiked hair flanking a balding crown, and a trimmed beard, complemented armor befitting his rank. An aura of menace trailed him, mirroring his battlefield legend. Stationed initially at the Qin-Chu border, he mentored young officers such as Kou Yoku and Haku Rei before spearheading Chu’s 1st Army in the Coalition Invasion. His forces crushed Fort Nanko, surging northward to confront Qin at Kankoku Pass. There, his lethal prowess shone—slaying commander Dou Kin in a blink and besting Roku O Mi in single combat. Yet his clash with Qin’s General Tou proved fatal, ending his campaign in a storm of blades. Decades prior, he had honed his ruthlessness repelling Baiyue incursions on Chu’s southern frontier. Frontline triumphs and personal execution of rivals amassed over a hundred kills, propelling his ascent in a merciless hierarchy. This forged a commander both pragmatically cautious and unshakably confident—save for the instinctive tremor Tou’s presence evoked, betraying buried fragility. Linwu balanced casual authority with calculated restraint. He tolerated subordinates’ provocations yet reined in excess, prioritizing leading charges personally to galvanize men. A rallying war chant echoed his conviction: “We’ll dispatch Qin to the afterlife!” Historical records note his debates with philosopher Xunzi, championing ruthless strategy over Confucian virtue. Tales depict rivals fearing him as a “wounded hawk” shadowed by old scars. His final march—a lightning advance north, devastating Qin ranks until Tou’s counterstrike at Kankoku Pass—sealed his fate, etching his legacy as both predator and prey.
