The objective of this informational collection is simple: to gather all the
biographies from Koei's Romance of the Three Kingdoms X in a single location
for easy reference and use. All biographies are as they appeared in the game,
Romance of the Three Kingdoms X, but many corrections have been made. These
corrections are injected in the same way they always should be when adding
to an original work -- [with brackets] -- and are original material created
by members of this project.
Also worthy of note are the lifespan, kingdoms served, and style name fields.
Lifespan information strives to be historical, but when in doubt, comes from
the novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. For information that is specifically
historical in nature, visit Kongming's Archives (kongming.net). Kingdoms
Served is, as the name implies, a reference to the kingdoms an officer has
served, but includes both historical and fictional information. Style names
