Su Hu

Su Hu is the real Da Ji's father and an old friend of Huang Feihu. A war veteran and a natural skeptic, he is Zheng Lun's rational master.

Role in Game
Su Hu is a venerable general of the Shang Dynasty. Sometime before the game begins, he was ordered to bring his daughter to King Zhou. While he and his escorts were guarding her passage, the party decided to rest for the night. Su Hu was weary of the rumors regarding specters and ghouls in the area, so he protected her. As he patrolled, he was worried when the light in her room flickered out and rushed to her side. She assured him that she was fine and their journey continued without incident. What he didn't know was that the soul of his daughter had already been devoured by a monster by the time he entered her room.

Taigong Wang's party soon comes across the first gate away from Morning Song, which is where Su Hu is stationed to stop them. Although he was ordered to punish the rebel general, Su Hu desires to hear his friend's end of the tale personally and sends Zheng Lun to invite the general inside. When his subordinate returns with Huang Feihu bound in ropes as a prisoner, Su Hu orders him to be released immediately. After the usual courtesies are shared between them, Su Hu shares his regret and disbelief towards his daughter causing the disasters in Morning Song. Due to his daughter's actions, Su Hu has been ostracized by the people. Huang Feihu, who trusts his friend's integrity, tells him the truth about the fox spirit in Da Ji. Knowing that his daughter would have never resorted to cruelty, he believes the revelation and mourns his daughter's passing. Huang Feihu offers his friend to join his quest to defeat the monster and gains Su Hu's approval. Moments after, Taigong Wang and Huang Tianxiang burst in to "rescue" their comrade. Once the misunderstanding between them is cleared, Su Hu aids Taigong Wang's party to avenge his daughter.

He continues to act as a minor advisor to Taigong Wang when they face other human opponents. Later in the game, as the party marches towards Morning Song with Ji Fa, Huang Feihu and Su Hu inform their leader that the road leading to Si Shui Gate splits into three paths. One leads towards the gate and the other paths are blocked with two additional gates. Su Hu leads a third battalion to deal with the northern pass. He needs to live in the conflict or the game will end. After the final battle, he is one of the three generals who pardon themselves from the court to embark on a personal journey.

Personality
Su Hu is a stern and intelligent leader who is known for dictating the importance of military discipline. He trains himself regularly and shares personal advice with the rest of the party to keep them on their toes. While they share similar traits and history, Su Hu remarks that he looks like an old man compared to Huang Feihu since he doesn't actively try to keep his youthful appearance.

As Da Ji was his only child, Su Hu reminisces about her at various times throughout the game. He remembers her as a gentle, selfless, and honest maiden who never bickered with him about anything. When she was a child, she was also one of Huang Tianhua's playmates. His views regarding his daughter echoes how others previously saw her, as Wen Zhong and Huang Feihu expressed the same sentiments.

Fighting Style
Su Hu is a sturdy physical fighter who shares many traits with Huang Feihu. The main difference between them is that Su Hu can either be one of the best swordsmen or archers in the party. His above-average luck allows him to accurately hit his foes and deal critical hits. He can equip heavy equipment and can endure more blows than others. His weaknesses lie in his low movement rate, his slacking agility, and his low magic stat. His last weakness also prevents him from being a good club user, as many of the status effects associated with the moveset will have a lower chance of taking effect.

The following lists his starting weapon and magic proficiencies.
 * Sword - 3/8
 * Spear - n/a
 * Club - 1/6
 * Bow - 3/9
 * Earth - 1/6
 * Healing - n/a
 * Illusion - n/a
 * Chi - n/a
