Zhuge Ke

Zhuge Ke (203 - 253), style name Yuanxun, was a military general and regent of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms era of Chinese history. He was the son of Zhuge Jin and nephew of Zhuge Liang. He succeeded Lu Xun after the latter's death. After the death of the founding emperor Sun Quan, Zhuge served as regent for his son Sun Liang, but the regency proved to be militarily disastrous due to Zhuge's overaggressiveness against Cao Wei. In 253, Zhuge was killed, along with his family, in a coup d'état.
