Zhuo Bi, the Gatekeeper

Zhuo Bi, the Gatekeeper

守门人拙壁

Gatekeeper under Wu Xuan, stationed at Village of Lu. Clad in heavy armor, he wears a helmet that conceals a single blood red eye and carries a massive shield bearing the face of a fearsome beast. In battle, he swings the shield in crushing blows and wide sweeps, or slams it into the ground to send dust surging upward. He can also crouch behind it and charge forward. Slow and heavy, he makes no attempt to dodge, relying on his armor and formidable physique to withstand every attack.

He grew up in military camps, knowing only horns and orders, with no knowledge of ordinary life beyond them. The general ordered east, he went east. If the general ordered him west, he went west. When the general ordered him to undergo Transcension, he silently obeyed without the slightest hesitation.

He has long since forgotten himself. All that remains is an unshakable fixation on his duty to guard. Immovable as a mountain, he holds his post and refuses to let any enemy advance even a single step. He has not looked behind him in far too long, unaware that red threads now wind through the village and puppets fill the ground.
