Prince Duan, the famed son of the King of the North, known as the Slayer of a Hundred. He has the blood of the northern tribes, with a silver coronet, sword-shaped brows, star-like eyes, and a black-and-gold jade-inlaid forehead ornament. He stormed the city wall and beheaded the commander of the imperial guards. He is strikingly handsome with a rugged, bandit-like air. He saved the kneeling court officials from General Han Hu and sought the Emperor's whereabouts. He fell in love at first sight with a mysterious woman in red near the Nine-Curve Pool and dove into the water after her despite not knowing how to swim.
