Dian Man

Dian Man is the son of Dian You, a woman who served as an adviser for Yuan Xu and Yuan Xi's Forces. He grew to become a warrior of massive strength when he was 16 and in 203 AD, was asked to become an officer for Yuan Xi at the request of Guo Tu and Xun Chen. However he denied this and refused to serve the Yuan Clan, even running away from home when his mother tried to force him to.

About a month later, he came into Puyang where he met Cao Cao, who took him in and treated him as if he were his own son. After Cao Cao's near death experience against Zhang Xiu's Forces at Wan Castle, he volunteered to become Cao Cao's bodyguard alongside Xu Chu, who he became good friends with.

When Cao Cao was killed, he was entrusted to help guard his children, mainly Cao Xue. He fought in the war against the Yuan Clan and later rescued his mother, who Yuan Tan tried to hold hostage to make him defect. Dian You died a year later, much to his grief.

During Cao Zhi's Rebellion, he held the line at Cao Xue's foothold at Chang'an while Cao Xue and the others fled for Xuchang. He was thought to have been killed by Cao Zhi and her men, but he soon returned alive sometime after the rebellion. He continued to serve Wei till he died.
