Bai Li, also called Haku Rei, commands as a Chu general leading the Haku Rei Army under Great General Ka Rin. A native of Chu, he holds distinction as the youngest member of China’s elite archers, the Ten Bows, later asserting himself as their self-proclaimed second-ranked marksman. His military journey began under brother-in-law General Rin Bu Kun, campaigning across southern frontiers alongside close ally Kou Yoku.
First appearing during the Sanyou Aftermath Arc, Bai Li confronts Qin forces on the Chu-Qin border, showcasing archery prowess by unhorsing Shin. He acknowledges rising Qin commanders but voices eagerness for future clashes. In the Coalition Invasion Arc, he joins the Battle of Kankoku Pass, sniping critical targets from a mobile platform until Mou Ten shatters his bow, compelling retreat after Rin Bu Kun’s defeat.
Balancing seriousness with dry wit, Bai Li tempers Kou Yoku’s impulsiveness through rationality. He honors a vow to sister Haku Sui by fiercely protecting Rin Bu Kun, revealing vulnerability at the general’s funeral. Tactically, he excels in long-range warfare, synchronizes with Kou Yoku’s units, and deploys specialized archers with extended reach.
During the War of the Three States, Bai Li supports Juuko’s forces against Qin and Wei, flanking enemies and strategizing support. His attempt to assassinate General Tou fails, prompting withdrawal. Experience sharpens his skills, elevating leadership and intelligence stats from 85 and 84 to 86 and 85.
Background details highlight relentless archery dedication and pride in his Ten Bows status. He navigates Ka Rin’s ruthless command—surviving her execution threats after setbacks—and adapts strategically, regrouping after headquarters losses or collaborating with allies like Gen’U against Wei.
