Also known as General Anyuan, he was once one of Wei Jing's most trusted aides during his northern campaigns. He is a scion of the prominent Xu family, whose grandfather served as an imperial tutor. Protected by the influential Meng clan, he was demoted to the southwest after the new emperor's purge. He now appears to be working with Prince An, though his true loyalties remain ambiguous. He has a wife and children, which complicates his position.
