Nangong Tianba's father, a middle-aged robust man clad in bronze-gold armor with a crimson cloak. He has been fighting on the frontier for his country and rarely saw his wife and children. His consort died before reaching thirty, and he missed her funeral, haunted by guilt. He resigned from his post but was summoned back due to Xiongnu invasions. He slapped his unfilial son and begged forgiveness from others for his failure to discipline him.
