Dreams of Three Kingdoms

A middle-aged Han man with a strong build, Ma Teng has long, flowing black hair tied back in a warrior's topknot. His sharp, piercing eyes reflect his keen intellect and determination. He wears a mix of traditional armor and tribal garments, adorned with symbols of his lineage and victories. His presence commands respect, and he carries a beautifully crafted spear, a symbol of his martial prowess.

Ma Teng is a proud and determined leader, fiercely loyal to his allies and family. He possesses a strategic mind, often weighing the benefits of alliances against the risks of betrayal. His experiences have made him wary of others, yet he remains hopeful for a united front against common foes. He values honor and strength, often seeking to inspire his troops with tales of bravery and valor.

Ma Teng, a formidable warlord of Liang Province, rose to power through his military prowess and strategic alliances. Known for his experience in frontier warfare, he commanded a loyal army and navigated the complex political landscape of the late Han Dynasty, forming alliances and rivalries with other warlords like Cao Cao and Han Sui. As the father of the renowned warrior Ma Chao, his legacy was marked by both triumphs and tragedies. In a fantastical twist, Ma Teng's lineage could be traced back to a nomadic tribe with mystical martial traditions, allowing him to forge alliances with local spirits and magical creatures, enhancing his military might with the aid of shamans and mystics.
