Cao Cao

Cao Cao-early leader of the Cao Clan- was a prominent ruler in The Three Kingdoms period of Ancient China. His style was Mengde, and he had two childhood nicknames; Jili and Ah Man. Cao had an aptitude for all things musical, and was skilled in martial arts. He was also cunning and devious, and adapted well to many different circumstances.

When the Han Empire was split into three independent kingdoms, the Cao Clan ruled over the northernmost kingdom, Wei. For a while, it seemed likely that the Cao's would unite the kingdom under their rule, until a vassal of the Cao Clan, the Sima Clan, rose up and took power.
