Zhou Yu

A general from China's Eastern Han dynasty. The Servant Zhou Yu is a mix of both the historical person and the fictional version from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms story, though his mind is based more on the historical one. As such, he feels like his Servant abilities associated with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are a bit overpowered and given to him for no reason, though he doesn't reject them.[1]

He was a loyal vassal to the Sun family for three generations, and was notably close to his brother-in-law Sun Ce, the "Little Conqueror". At the Battle of Red CliffsWP Zhou Yu led the Sun forces to victory against Cao Cao's naval fleet. However he died young of illness and was unable to see the establishment of the Wu Empire.[2]

Personality:
In the Fate series (specifically Fate/Samurai Remnant), Zhou Yu is summoned as an Archer-class Servant. He is characterized as a brilliantly calm, rational, and loyal tactician [1]. Driven by deep devotion to his homeland and sworn brothers, he notably possesses a comical distaste for his exaggerated, jealous portrayal in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Personality and Traits

• Calm and Rational: He acts as a wise expert in strategy, capable of seeing through enemy ploys and navigating tricky warfare. [1]

• Selfless and Caring: Far from the petty rival often depicted in fiction, his Fate iteration views him as a faithful warrior who takes on heavy burdens to protect those around him, embodying a "protective older brother" figure. [1, 2]

• Fourth-Wall Irritation: He openly expresses frustration with how modern pop culture/folklore (namely Romance of the Three Kingdoms) bastardized his image by making him a bitter, jealous rival to Zhuge Liang.
