He is famous for serving as Liu Bei's rear guard at Chang Ban, guarding one of the bridges leading to his brother and bellowing a shout that terrifies Cao Cao 's army. Zhang Fei usually dies around the same time as Guan Yu. In recent games, this either happens when he tries to reinforce his older brother at Fan Castle or when he participates in Liu Bei's army at Yi Ling. During this particular scenario, his position in the volunteer army is taken over by Zhao Yun. After claiming the lives of a few soldiers, he yells for the soldiers to challenge him.

It ends with him urging everyone else to drink their share for the night. Dynasty Warriors 6 states that Zhang Fei is a former meat and wine seller.
He decides to test himself in the imperial draft for suppressing the Yellow Turbans and ends up being enlisted under Liu Bei's squad. Although he doesn't think Liu Bei to be too reliable, Guan Yu speaks in his favor by replying that brute force won't change the depravity of the world they live in.
Cutting down Zhang Jiao and winning the battle, he asks Guan Yu and Liu Bei their future plans and is pleased to go with them. They swear brotherhood after the battle and try to find a land of their own.

Realizing they were tricked, they leave Cao Cao and eventually flee from the conqueror at Chang Ban.

Whilst there, they receive a plead for assistance by Tao Qian , who seeks to drive back Cao Cao.
Zhang Fei acts as the player's avatar for Xu Province. During the battle, he pits his strength against Dian Wei , a warrior he previously had a stare down with at Sishui Gate. When Lu Bu arrives to support Liu Bei and offer his services to his older brother, Zhang Fei immediately disapproves the decision to ally with him. Liu Bei is relieved to see him alive, but Zhang Fei is upset to see his brother betraying Liu Bei and swears to kill him.
Retreating from Yuan Shao's death threat during Guandu , they become landless wanderers. His displeasure with Guan Yu instantly disappears when his older brother swears his loyalty to Liu Bei again. Their efforts aren't enough to completely drive back Cao Cao's forces so they escape at Chang Ban.

Shu's last scenario has him participate in the Battle of Nanzhong alongside his daughter. Playable once more during the showdown against Wu, he forces Sun Shangxiang to withdraw from battle and slays Sun Quan for his brother's ambition. He and his brothers live to see the fulfillment of their oath while enjoying an outing to celebrate the land's unification.
In other chapters, Zhang Fei survives past the events of Yiling and serves as his kingdom's remaining defenders. In Dynasty Warriors 8 , Zhang Fei reprises his role from the previous game. He then appears in the hypothetical ending, standing alongside his brothers, children and allies. When Lu Xun clears up the misunderstanding, they are attacked by Wang Yi , who is the one who forged the false letter.
He is then seen attending Sun Quan's banquet with his brothers. In the expansion , Zhang Fei's earlier life prior to Changban is expanded further.
In the historical route, he is Xiapi's defender, but he loses the castle to Lu Bu. He eventually joins his brothers in the campaign against Yuan Shu, where he will disobey orders to guard the main camp, and in the final battle at Xiapi. If the hypothetical route is followed, he competes with Lu Bu for glory as they defend Xuzhou from Cao Cao.
Like his brothers, they turn against Lu Bu during the recapture of Chang'an , arriving as reinforcements attacking Chen Gong. In Shu's story mode, Zhang Fei will appear in an altered subjugation of Lu Bu, and the altered Changban, where he will assist with the ambush. In Wei's story mode, he appears in the Hanzhong campaign, and will ambush the intruding Wei officers at Zitong, and helps Guan Yu at Maicheng.
Finally, he will appear, drunk, during the Wei officers' search for Cai Wenji. Due to his negative experiences with people who have taken advantage of Liu Bei's kindness, he has an initially sour opinion of Xu Shu, not heeding the strategist's warnings about the Eight Gates Formation until his own life is threatened.
One of the campaign missions against Liu Zhang involves pitting Zhang Fei against the elderly general Yan Yan who likens him to a pig. Angered by the insult, he takes on the older man and defeats him with the player's assistance. At Mengtou, he fakes being drunk to taunt Zhang He , causing the latter to lose three of his defense bases.
While Zhang Fei's bond story includes his feats at Changban, it also explores his budding rivalry with Ma Chao when the latter had been serving under Zhang Lu. His eventual victory has Liu Bei compare him to the ancient warrior Xiang Yu. During Dynasty Warriors 9 , Zhang Fei's role is largely, starting with his oath brothers at Lousang Village before moving to help deal with the Yellow Turbans.
Though the rebels are defeated, it soon becomes obvious that the imperial court was now marred by Dong Zhuo's corruption, and Zhang Fei would join his brothers in trying to slay the tyrant, but the enemy commander escapes to Chang'an , leaving Luoyang in flames.
While they are rewarded with the province following the governor's wishes, Liu Bei, against the advise of his brothers, provides shelter for Lu Bu. Zhang Fei is assigned to sit behind in his brother's home base, but he gets himself drunk and immediately loses Xu Province to Lu Bu instead.
Zhang Fei would participate in the campaigns against Lu Bu and Yuan Shu , and would, by fate, meet Xiahouji at Xiaopei , but he orders her to return home and stop finding trouble. Conflict soon arises with Cao Cao and Liu Bei when the latter signs a petition joining Dong Cheng 's failed coup, and Zhang Fei joins his eldest brother in joining Yuan Shao, where they are joined by Zhao Yun by coincidence. Zhang Fei is startled when Xiahouji, choosing to forego her familial ties, joins him, and the pair defend Liu Bei and Zhao Yun during the escape from Changban.
Zhang Fei and his new spouse can be found in charge of attacking Jin Xuan at Wuling. The idea, however, that Liu Bei would profit off by taking advantage of his ally causes rifts to grow between him and Sun Quan, but Lu Su 's mediations lead both sides to leave Jing's southern cities in Liu Bei's hands until he claims his own land.
After conquering the lands of Shu, Liu Bei follows up his success by taking Hanzhong from Cao Cao's forces while Guan Yu is homing in on the warlord's territory in the central plains. In celebration for their achievements, Liu Bei holds a banquet for his officers.
Seeing his eldest brother enjoying his time with his new retainers, the drunk Zhang Fei chooses to leave the party and nap under a peach tree.

After his ending, Guan Yu's death at the hands of Wu causes Zhang Fei to immediately ask for an expedition for revenge, only to find conflict with both Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang. After many repeated and emotional pleas, a punitive expedition is finally ordered by Liu Bei, overruling Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun. Just before the campaign, Zhang Fei holds a banquet with his family to prepare for the upcoming battle. In his last moments, he vainly attempts to reach out to his unknowing family and perishes shortly thereafter.
In Warriors Orochi , both he and Guan Yu are forced to work for Orochi as their brother is one of his hostages. After that he faces Zhao Yun's forces. Zhang Fei starts as a member of Shu's forces in Warriors Orochi 2. Liu Bei agrees and Guan Yu remains behind to guard the main camp. During the battle, Zhang Fei is the one who allows the reinforcements from Wu under Lu Xun to join the battle.
He shares his dream mode with Tadakatsu and Musashi as three masters of their respective weapons. They band together to save Ieyasu from Hideyoshi at Hinokawa. Zhang Fei enters the battle to additionally rescue Xing Cai, who is guarding Ieyasu. Staying beside his eldest brother after Orochi's second defeat , Zhang Fei was one of the generals stationed at Yangping Gate, a protective gate before Chengdu.
Since Chengdu is overrun in the original timeline, it's implied that Zhang Fei either fled or died fighting the serpent forces. Due to Da Ji's plot to obtain Liu Bei and Ieyasu's cooperation in past, the coalition return travel back in time to attack Yangping Gate.
Like the other defenders of the gate, a furious Zhang Fei believes Guan Yu and company have sworn their complete loyalty to Da Ji. He even momentarily disowns his brotherhood to Guan Yu during his outburst.
When he is bested in combat, Zhang Fei finally listens to his older brother's explanation and then joins the coalition. He also helps Guo Jia save Tadakatsu's own daughter, Ina. In "Best of Both Worlds" , he leads an army against Xingcai, Muneshige and Achilles and calls the athatem cowards for using shields, unaware that he is mocking his own daughter who wields a shield herself. In the expansion, he continues to fight loyally for the Shu- Tokugawa army.
He appears as reinforcements for Pang Tong at Mt. Niutou, but is deceived into attacking the nearby Wei army. He is given an extra scenario with Tadakatsu and Zhao Yun, detailing their perspective of the Battle at Yangping Gate. Warriors Orochi 4 places Zhang Fei as a part of Liu Bei's forces, joining him when he and the Uesugi formed an alliance against Nobunaga. When Nobunaga's forces attack Liu Bei, he and Xu Shu defend their lord long enough until reinforcements from Naotora and Perseus arrive.
He then attempts to fight Athena 's forces at Hanzhong and is surprised to see both his children and Guan Yu's children accompanying the enemy. When Goemon joins the Coalition, he states that he has found a secret location with a powerful weapon belonging to Ares. Intrigued, Zhang Fei accompanies Goemon, only to find that Goemon was simply robbing one of god's castles for treasure. While making his escape, he is spotted by almost all of the Shu forces serving Athena, including his children.
After the battle, he punches Goemon for tarnishing his name in front of his children and officers. Like the novel, he is one of Liu Bei 's oath brothers and a fearsome general in battle. He is a former bandit and proud father of three daughters.
He marches into battle with his avenge the death of his eldest daughter, Mei Mei. He stays by his brothers' side for the rest of the game. Within the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, Zhang Fei is characterised by his abnormally high war stat which is only second to Lu Bu in the games. Besides leadership however, his other stats usually fall below average making him unsuitable for tasks outside of battle.
Zhang Fei is a loud and brash man who thrives in a brawl. Stubborn and prideful, he never wants to turn his back on the enemy and is easily motivated into anger.
He displays a wider range of emotions than his brothers as he's known to be cheerful one moment and deeply saddened the next. Though his judgment may be questionable, his heart is in the right place and he usually knows when to be practical.
He likes being in the spotlight if his brothers allow it. His loyalty to Liu Bei sometimes blinds him from trusting others as he is quick to criticize newcomers that his brother welcomes. Though a menace on the battlefield, Zhang Fei is deeply tied to his family. He is fiercely loyal to his oath brothers and wouldn't hesitate to lay down his life for them. Out of the trio, he is the one who will most likely remark and joke about his brothers' serious behavior.
The Warriors Orochi series also reveals that he's a caring worrywart over his daughter's safety. This same trait follows him in Kessen II , except he also goes into a boiling rage at the mere mention of his daughters being in danger.
By contrast, he forms a rivalry with Magoichi and Katsuie. In the third installment, he has a special interest in Ina comparing her to Xingcai and curious of her relationship with her father. He also relates with Mitsuhide Akechi 's issues with being a father. Zhang Fei's characteristic appearance in Three Kingdoms fiction may draw inspiration from his description in Sanguozhi Pinghua or Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In the first account, he was born with a leopard-like face and round eyes. Stretched across his sparrow-like jaw was his tiger-like beard. Zhang Fei towered over others at a height of nine chi approximately three meters or ten feet in modern conversions and had a muscled imposing stature. Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes him as standing a little shorter approximately cm or 8'9" in modern conversions and roughly follows the Sanguozhi Pinghua account. Two prominent features different from the former story is his voice booming like thunder and his spirit matching a raging horse.
Most of these descriptions often contrast how he was described historically, as he was stated to be quite the handsome man, and some have claimed his looks have been passed onto his children. His trademark weapon in Three Kingdoms media is the shemao , commonly translated as the "Snake Lance". Specifically, Zhang Fei's version is named after its archaic height listed in Romance of the Three Kingdoms , which is over four meters or thirteen feet in modern conversions.
Accounts regarding the length of the weapon vary, as it sometimes is told to be much longer than the novel's description.
It acts as Zhang Fei's Level 11, third, fourth, fifth and Standard weapon in the Dynasty Warriors series; his skill chart in the sixth installment is roughly shaped in its image.
Zhang Fei received the weapon in the novel after reciting the oath with his brothers. An interesting variation of its origins is told in the Sanguozhi Pinghua , in which the spear is a literal serpent. When Liu Bei stayed in Qian'an, he and his brothers accepted the request to rid of a giant serpent terrorizing travelers in the nearby mountain path.
Zhang Fei volunteered himself to deal with the beast alone. During the chilly night, as he was warming wine for comfort, the serpent appeared to attack him. After a long struggle, the warrior armed only with his sword and his raw strength successfully killed the monster.
Upon its death, the giant serpent's body hardened to form the magnificent shape of the shemao. As a side note, the other famous wielder of the same shemao is Lin Chong from Water Margin , who looks similar to Zhang Fei and is possibly based off of him in this regard.
The shemao acting as Zhang Fei's fourth weapon is additionally named after a star within the Ursa Major constellation called the Eta Ursae Majoris, but is also known as either the Alkaid or Benetnash. Within Chinese history, the star is called Pojun or Yaoguang. According to myths and legends, Zhuge Liang relied on divinations of the star while performing his campaigns.
If troops happened to face the direction or flow of energy emitting from the star, the campaign was doomed to fail. Turning their back to the star was a sign of unconditional victory. The idea of "heaven being on his side" is related to favorable conditions surrounding the star, said to have been responsible for his many alleged victories.
In Japan, Shingen is fabled to have performed a similar rite for his strategies. Both his original fifth and level 11 weapons in the Asian ports use a strength motif similar to his fourth weapon, as his weapon uses the Pojun naming of the star literally "Crushing Army" ; his first fifth weapon describes a star that crushes evil, while his level 11 weapon nods to a star that is able to break apart an entire country or kingdom alike. For his original downloadable costume in Dynasty Warriors 7 , Zhang Fei dresses as a typical rounin student.
This version of the character stereotype usually involve burly men who prefer not to dedicate their time to studying. Usually, they join gangs and scribble their affiliation's name in graffiti styled Chinese characters on the back of their coats.
Zhang Fei's coat is dedicated to his oath to his brothers. With the blessing of heaven, I will reward the virtuous and annihilate the wicked. Guan Yu was good to his subordinates but arrogant toward the rest of the officials, on the contrary, Zhang Fei was respectful toward the gentlemen but abusive toward his inferiors.
Beware that one day you would be in trouble with your subordinates. When Liu Bei had a campaign against Wu, Zhang Fei was put in charge of some tens of thousands of troops, and he was supposed to meet up at Jiangzhou from Langzhong.
Before his arrival, his subordinates Zhang Da and Fan Qiang killed him and brought his decapitated head to surrender to Sun Quan. His eldest son Zhang Bao died early, whilst his second son Zhang Shao succeeded his father and was made a palace attendant and one of the imperial secretariats.
However, Guan Yu was unyielding and overly self-respect, whereas Zhang Fei was hot-tempered and without kindness, their short-comings leading to their defeats. This is common logic indeed. Ma Chao betrayed the minority tribes and lacked courage; he was a disappointment for his people, what a pity! Having been able to rise from rags to riches, is this not better? Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun both strong and valiant were good subordinates of their lord, like the claws and teeth to a beast.
Can they not compare to the likes of Guan Yin and Xiahou Yin? Navigation Menu
