This profile is a few years old. It will be re-written when I reach this character's death in my novel notes.
Ma Chao, one of the Five Tiger Generals, was a powerful, brave warrior often compared to Lu Bu. Despite his youth, he who hunted down Cao Cao in revenge for his father's murder but was eventually overcome due to Han Sui's duplicity. Later, he fought against Zhang Fei, holding his own in battle for two days until Zhuge Liang recruited him.
