Ma Teng

Ma Teng is a former general in the Imperial Han. He is the Prefect of Xiliang and leader of the Xiliang Alliance. A battle hardened warrior. Ma Teng has lived for many years before the Rushin Clan came into power. He served under the Han before and during the time of Gong Zuan.

When Gong Zuan was assassinated by Zha Ji, he withdrew back to Xiliang with Han Sui and Ma Yunlu, his daughter. From there, he began to build up his forces in Xiliang, where he formed the Xiliang Alliance.

Soon, Ma Teng expanded his influence in the west, while Cao Cao, Sun Jing, and Yuan Xi battled over control of the east. Ma Teng succeeded in subduing warlords such as Fao Fang, Li Ping, and Zhong Xiu, building a strong force in the west.

After Cao Cao's passing and Cao Xue's loss at Chibi, Ma Teng attempted to use as a chance to defeat Cao Xue before she grew too strong and attacked the west. However, during their battle at Chang'an, he was killed, and left his legacy to Ma Yunlu and the rest of his family.
