Mō Ten, eldest son of Great General Mou Bu and grandson of the late Great General Mou Gou, belongs to Qin's prestigious Mou military lineage. Born into nobility, his childhood was marked by mischievous antics and academic disinterest; he frequently joined younger brother Mou Ki in pranking guardian Ko Zen. A female tutor later sparked his intellectual awakening, accelerating his development. He subsequently studied law, passing demanding examinations to join Qin's judiciary. His slender physique contrasts sharply with his father's imposing stature. Long brown hair frames distinctly feminine features, including a small mole beneath his right eye. He typically wears a pink robe over armor, golden vambraces, and a thin jian sword. Upon promotion to general, his attire incorporated pauldrons, a choker, and cape. Personality blends a friendly, joking exterior with strategic cunning. Behind the carefree facade lies fierce loyalty to family, demonstrated by risking his life to shield grandfather Mou Gou from Ren Pa and father Mou Bu from Chu commanders. He leverages familial influence pragmatically while treating individuals of all statuses equally. His military career began early as a 100-man commander under Mou Gou during the Anhou Campaign. Key advancements followed: - At Sanyou against Wei, he masterminded a tri-unit operation with Ou Hon and Shin to eliminate Rin Ko, personally leading the diversionary assault while coordinating their strikes. - During the Coalition Invasion at Kankoku Pass under Tou, he parried Kou Yoku's lethal blows, neutralized archer Haku Rei, and intercepted Chu commander Kan Mei's attack on Mou Bu, sustaining near-fatal wounds. - Promoted to general at 25 during the Western Zhao Invasion, he rescued the collapsing Ma Kou Army at Shukai Plains, reorganizing it effectively under Ou Sen's command. He commands the specialist Gaku Ka Army, supported by subordinates Riku Sen and childhood acquaintance Ai Sen. Tactical prowess, refined under mentor Shou Hei Kun, marks him among his generation's finest. Combat proficiency emphasizes precise swordsmanship and deflection, evidenced by surviving engagements with Ba Nan Ji and Gaku Shou through expert parrying. Deep reverence for Mou Gou defines key relationships. He protectively mentors brother Mou Ki, assigning him as strategist to Shin's unit. Despite personality clashes, he maintains a respectful rivalry with Ou Hon and fosters genuine friendship with Shin, mediating their conflicts and offering strategic counsel irrespective of Shin's humble origins. His driving purpose remains achieving status as one of Qin's Six Great Generals to unify China, compelling continued service through campaigns including the recent defense at Gian against Zhao.
