Lord Biao, known as Duke Hyou, served as a Great General of Qin and led his namesake army. Renowned as the state's most powerful instinctual commander, he employed crude tactics and unpredictable maneuvers to shatter enemy forces, often spearheading suicidal charges with berserker-like ferocity to seize battle momentum.
He claimed birth on an active battlefield, growing up immersed in warfare, forging a lifelong bond with combat. His battlefield successes drew repeated summons to Kanyou from the 28th Qin King, Sho. He ignored every call, rejecting the political allure of the Six Great Generals. For him, the battlefield was home; living meant waging war. Victory and drinking wine at night defined his satisfaction.
Physically imposing with a warrior's build, he had grey-white hair, large grey eyes often called ferocious or beast-like, and sharp fang-like teeth. He wore his beard in three distinct goatees, typically clad in golden armor under a red cloak, wielding a glaive and spike-rimmed shield. In battle, a war mask sometimes triggered a berserk state, massively boosting his soldiers' morale.
His personality blended fierce aggression with camaraderie. Ruthless and battle-hungry, he sacrificed soldiers freely for victory, like recognizing Wei's ploy to force combat onto the chariot-favored Dakan Plains. He respected formidable foes, acknowledging Go Kei's strength during their duel while mocking the Wei general's inability to move past regrets, declaring him lacking "the blood of a warrior." Off the field, he celebrated victories with subordinates like the Hi Shin Unit and pressured Ou Ki into sharing drinks. Childless, he mentored Shin as a battlefield protégé.
His campaigns showcased instinctual prowess. Invading Wei with 150,000 men during the Keiyou Campaign, he split them into six divisions pre-border. Learning of Wei's advance from Keiyou to Asui, he redirected forces to meet them at Dakan Plains. There, he personally led a 5,000-strong cavalry charge straight into the Wei army, breaking formations despite war chariots, killing Go Kei's subordinate Shu Ki and defeating Go Kei in a duel, shattering Wei morale.
In the Coalition Invasion, commanding 10,000 against Go Hou Mei's 100,000 Wei troops, he halted an advance when the Hi Shin Unit intervened against encircling chariots, sensing an "extremely off" smell ahead later identified as Ryuudou. He coordinated with Shin, directing the Hi Shin Unit to flank via the Shourai Mountain Paths. At Kankoku Pass, he disrupted proceedings with a premature charge against Zhao. Sensing no battlefield "stench," he regrouped and charged again, confronting Zhao commander Kei Sha. He later reinforced Shin's depleted unit with 1,000 soldiers, urging him past melancholy. On the 15th day, his plan to bait out Kei Sha failed when the Zhao general anticipated it.
His final campaign defended against the Five-State Alliance. Leading a small force with Shin to intercept Li Mu's Zhao army infiltrating southern mountain paths toward Xianyang, Li Mu's tactics dispersed his troops. Lord Biao broke through the chaos to reach Li Mu's headquarters. Li Mu deployed his hidden weapon, Zhao general Pang Nuan. Lord Biao dueled Pang Nuan but was outmatched. Dying, he passed his shield to Shin: "Don't ever let your fire die out." His final order sent Shin to defend Xianyang.
His combat abilities were exceptional. He wielded superhuman strength, killing multiple soldiers with single glaive strikes and cutting men in half effortlessly. Ou Ki acknowledged his high fighting prowess; he inflicted severe injuries on Hou Ken, nearly beheading him and breaking his dominant arm. His leadership galvanized soldiers into overwhelming forces during charges. He possessed extraordinary alcohol tolerance, brewing liquor potent enough to astonish Ou Ki while consuming full bowls without losing coherence.
Zhao's supreme commander Ri Boku offered significant praise, stating Lord Biao surpassed his understanding of instinctual generals by deciphering the "Ryuudou" tactic—a feat even Kei Sha couldn't accomplish. This framed Lord Biao as the "true epitome of the instinctual type." His legacy endured through Shin, who inherited both his shield and relentless fighting spirit.
