Lu Kang

First major appearance, and he gets the command that matters: Lu Xun's son, set over 'the army of Jingzhou and the river ports with the title General Who Guards the East'. The last great Wu commander takes up the post his father held.

The last thing standing between Wu and the end, and the chapter says so twice. Kills Bu Chan and many of his generals at Xiling before Yang Hu can relieve the city, which is why Yang Hu will not attack while he lives. Then dies of illness alongside Ding Feng - 'By this time Wu had lost by death both Ding Feng and Lu Kang' - and Du Yu moves within a paragraph.
