Ordo, the Great General of Yan and self-proclaimed King of over 50 Mountain Tribes, rose to power by unifying disparate clans under his rule. Born in the central plains but forged in Yan’s rugged mountains, his upbringing honed a mastery of mountain warfare, enabling him to dissect and dominate treacherous terrain with tactical precision. This expertise cemented his reputation as a relentless commander, excelling in sieges and ambushes.
In the Coalition Invasion Arc, he spearheaded a 120,000-strong Yan army, bolstered by 8,000 elite mountain warriors, against Qin’s Kankoku Pass. After swiftly overrunning key mountain forts, his momentum faltered against Ou Sen’s ambush, which shattered his elite corps and compelled a calculated retreat. Undeterred, he stabilized his forces, securing captured ground to mitigate losses. During the Western Zhao Invasion Arc, he capitalized on Zhao’s vulnerable eastern border, seizing cities until Shi Ba Shou—a near-legendary Zhao commander—and General Chou Haku’s simultaneous counterattacks pressured him to abandon advances, prioritizing territorial defense over risky expansion.
Renowned for physical prowess, Ordo’s combat skill was displayed when he severed Mou Ryuu’s head mid-battle. His leadership transcends martial might: despite his plains-born origins, he bridged cultural divides to unite mountain tribes, securing their allegiance through mutual respect and battlefield ingenuity. Though affable and quick-witted, his strategic depth surfaces in moments like deducing Ri Boku’s maneuvers or anticipating shifting conflicts.
By the Zhao’s Retaliation Arc, he stationed himself at Kaikou Castle, scrutinizing Zhao’s northern territories while monitoring Ri Boku’s intelligence blackouts and troop deployments, underscoring his enduring role as Yan’s pivotal strategist.
