Song Qian (onyomi: Sō Ken) is a Wu officer who served three generations of the Sun family. His death occurs much earlier in the novel.

Role in Games
In Dynasty Warriors 7, Song Qian shares the role of ally commander alongside Sun Quan during pivotal battles involving Shu. The eighth game has him participate in the Battle of Hefei. Contrary to the novel, players are more likely to defeat him as Zhang Liao than with Yue Jin or Li Dian due to their individual objectives.

His Romance of the Three Kingdoms incarnation excels at warfare and leadership, though he is somewhat below average in terms of intellect and political clout.
