Appearance

Lu Su, styled Zijing, is a rather tall and strongly built man. He has well groomed black hair and facial hair, with dark eyes. He usually wears long red robes, but does have armor on his shins and on his left arm. Lu Su also wears a small cap on his rather square head.

personality

Lu Su is known for being generous as well as perceptive. He holds perhaps the stongest desire to bring about peace through negotiation, rather than violence. Being both kind and levelheaded, he is a great candidate for an ambassadorial role as people seem to be eager to listen to him. Through negotiations he hopes to resolve conflicts with the least amount of blood possible. Others find him trustworthy and reliable.

Although Lu Su isn't naive, he fails to see that in some situations, peace talks aggravate matters. He tends to accept peaceful resolutions at face-value rather than thinking about the long term consequences of agreements and alliances. Although Lu Su is rather strong and can handle a weapon, he is rather clumsy about it. His lack of proficiency in fighting is ultimately the result of his passive attitude about battles. He is not a leader of warriors, no matter who or how many trust him.

history

Lu Su comes from a merchant family from Dongcheng county. He spent many years building his wealth and business, but after Dong Zhuo left his town suffering he sold his land used the proceeds to help the poor, giving him popularity and renown among townspeople and higher officials alike.

Even after giving up much of his wealth, Lu Su managed to remain well supported. He once again showed his generosity when he came upon Zhou Yu and his ill-supplied troops. Lu Su gave one of his granaries to Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu in turn befriended him.

Yuan Shu attempted to hire Lu Su to be an official in his court, which Lu Su refused. He instead joined up with Zhou Yu directly and ran across Sun Ce, who welcomed him with open arms.

After Sun Ce's assassination, upon Zhou Yu's recommendation, Lu Su became a close official in Sun Quan's court where the young warlord treated him with equal respect and gave him numerous gifts to show gratitude and ensured Lu Su's position and loyality.

Lu Su was integral in the Sun-Liu alliance prior to the events of Chi'Bi, using his good manners and charm to work with other diplomats to ensure a shaky if not fragile alliance against Cao Cao's push into Wu territory.
