Fan Rui - Background

Background

Fan Rui is a native of Puzhou (in present-day Chongqing). He has untidy black hair and dons a suit of armour over his silk robe. Fan Rui excels in martial arts and wields a chain spiked mace in combat, presenting a fearsome image to his enemies. Besides being a powerful warrior, Fan Rui is also a master of Taoist sorcery. He can control elements of the weather and subdue various demons. He is thus nicknamed "Demon King of Chaos".

Fan Rui becomes the leader of a group of bandits on Mount Mangdang (near present-day Pei County, Xuzhou). He is flanked by his deputies, Xiang Chong and Li Gun, and they have an army of 3,000 bandits under their command. They rob the rich to help the poor, attack corrupt government officials and uphold justice.

Famous quotes containing the word background:

    ... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
