Meng Huo is the King of Nanman and a powerful tribal chief among the southern tribes. While he is the official ruler, he often counsels with his wife Zhu Rong on matters.

Meng Huo is portrayed as a sweet but short tempered man who frustratedly attempts to outwit Zhuge Liang at every turn, but fails dismally each time. He has a very strong relationship with his troops and officers, and all consider themselves a close family with an unbreakable spirit. --

Said to be the daughter of the God of Fire, Zhu Rong is depicted as an aggressive and beautiful woman who often coerces her husband into action against rival kingdoms. As she finds Meng Huo's laid-back and contented nature a hindrance to the Nanman people, she sees it as her duty to inspire passion and ambition in him.

She is the only female character who actually fought in the novel, defeating two Shu generals in the battle.
