Okay, so while getting our ducks in a row before we intro, Yuanji and I have been talking about how much we desperately want this character in our lives, so. Camp, I want to introduce you to a very special officer.
"Doesn't the enemy value their officers? If so, they shouldn't be sending them to fight me."
JUST LOOK AT THIS SMUG DOUCHEBAG. This is Zhong Hui. He's a general from Jin. He is also an arrogant little twerp, a sharp strategist, and he has the coolest weapon ever.

Yeah, you saw that right. Flying swords. Haven't you ever wanted to shank somebody by snapping your fingers? NOW YOU CAN. And better yet, you can do it while flipping your pretty hair and looking gorgeous while you do it.
He also happens to have some really interesting shit happening with Jiang Wei that sadly didn't make it into story mode in DW7 (there's a conquest mode stage that touches on it but doesn't go into much detail), because it happened after the conquest of Chengdu. (Spoilers for third century history!) Basically: Jiang Wei butters him up a little when surrendering, so Zhong Hui decides to be a nice guy and keep him around as an advisor. They even swear brotherhood. This is actually Jiang Wei's last ditch Sekrit Plan to try and win the war, by stroking Zhong Hui's ego until his arrogance wins out and he rebels and hopefully manages to take down a bunch of the Jin higher-ups. (Also they have some hilarious conspiracy to try and get Deng Ai accused of treason, because they don't like him very much. Kind of like Mean Girls only with more people getting stabbed, shot, or executed.)
It fails horribly. They both die.
Yuanji is also the one who most clearly sees the inevitable coming with Zhong Hui. So basically: I want him in camp to explore this horribly screwed up CR with me, and Yuanji wants to go :<<<< at him.
Awesome things you can do with Zhong Hui:
- Flip your pretty hair.
- Bitch about camp's infestation of dullards. (I mean, if he bitches about "dullards bound by the words of the dead," I can only imagine he'll really hate the ones that actually are dead.)
- Be an arrogant dick to the rest of the DW cast. And, well, to everyone in general, really.
- Spread catty mean girl gossip about Deng Ai at the lunch table. (Somebody app Deng Ai, too.)
- Shank people by snapping at them.
