Wei Hu

Wei Hu is Daoxing Tianzun's disciple who aids Taigong Wang. Curt with his words, he is actually a kind man with humble traits.

Role in Game
As Taigong Wang's party passes through the mountains, they encounter a demon named Ma Yuan terrorizing people in the mountains. Ma Yuan possesses the ability to petrify his victims by summoning a large fist to smash the ground from the heavens. To avenge the victims of the demon's craft, Taigong Wang confronts him. Moments before any attacks are exchanged, Wei Hu runs into the scene behind Ma Yuan. The demon is upset to see someone interrupt and uses his technique against the puzzled taoist master. However, Wei Hu is invulnerable to the stoning effect and assists Taigong Wang during the fight. Sealing Ma Yuan, Taigong Wang thanks the fellow Kunlun disciple for the help yet is confused by Wei Hu's short responses. Baihe Tongzi, who is sent by Wei Hu's master to help Wei Hu's introduction, explains his origins and his unique ability to change his body's constitution at will. His ability allowed him to remain unaffected by Ma Yuan's petrified attack. Wei Hu is sent by his master to assist Taigong Wang's mission.

After the final battle, he returns to hermitage in the Kunlun Mountains with Lei Zhenzi.

Personality
Not much of a talker, Wei Hu talks only with one liners or short sentences. He only says what he thinks is necessary with scant elaboration on his thoughts. Even so, he is honest with what little he says and expresses good faith to his comrades. He admires Yang Ren for continuing to worry about the king and his sight and warmly compliments the quirks found with his allies.

Despite his stern warrior image, Wei Hu likes to sow and quilt as a hobby. When Taigong Wang's robe is torn, Wei Hu proudly mends it with considerable skill. He does a better job than Deng Chanyu, who worries about losing her spot as the "homemaker" of the party and is consequently teased by Huang Tianhua.

Fighting Style
Wei Hu has balanced stats that allows him to work well on any part of the battle field. His speed and magic points slack behind a few other characters, but his physical attack and defense help make up for it. Wei Hu is the only party member who starts with a comprehensive Earth rating. If the players use him wisely, he can become the master earth mover of the group, manipulating terrain at the player's whim and advantage. His above-average magic rating and six-square movement rating allows him to perform this task with little effort.

His default ability allows him to cut a destructive barrier around himself. It simultaneously hits any foe within a one-square radius beside him and cuts the ground one level deeper. It serves as a good defensive strategy, and it can also become a tool to trap foes when combined with his earth magic.
