Dynasty Warriors/Characters/Notable NPC

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


A list of notable non-playable characters in the Dynasty Warriors series.



Cao Bao


Gongsun Zan

  • Arch Enemy - Yuan Shao
  • Man in White - His army was known as the White Riders due to their white horses.
  • Small Name, Big Ego - After Hu Lao Gate in Zhao Yun's Musou Mode in DW6, states that he fought "almost as well as he did."


Hua Xiong


Wen Chou & Yan Liang


Xu Shu

  • Always Someone Better - Invokes this towards Zhuge Liang. Even when Liu Bei wants him to stay as their strategist, Shu states that Zhuge Liang is much better than he could be.
  • The Strategist - For one stage.

Yuan Shu

  • Green-Eyed Monster - The reason he does not send the supplies to Sun Jian during the siege of Si Shui Gate.
    • Except in DW3, where the case appears to be that he's too busy being manhandled by Lu Bu to send Sun Jian any supplies.


Yuan Xi

  • Disposable Fiance - His wife Zhen Ji usually leaves him immediately after being defeated by Cao Pi at Guan Du.
  • What the Hell, Hero? - In Cao Pi's first Legend stage, he calls out everyone for trying to steal his wife.


Yu Ji

  • Manipulative Bastard - in DW7, he mind rapes Sun Ce and uses apparitions to lure him into an archer ambush, leading to Sun Ce's death.
  • What the Hell, Hero? - His apparitions (of various dead people, including Sun Jian) do this A LOT to Sun Ce, and Yu Ji himself quite a bit too, such as forcing Sun Ce to fight his own soldiers and then calling him out on it.
