Den Ri Mi was a General of the Qin Military and the commander of the Ou Sen Army's 2nd Division. He was once the 3rd division commander but was later promoted to 2nd position after the Qin's victory in the Battle at Shukai Plains and Ma Kou's death. He died during the Battle of Hango.

Appearance

Den Ri Mi was a young-looking man with long black hair and goatee. He was always seen with a serious expression. He wore decorated military armor associated with the upper commanders of the Ou Sen Army.

Personality

Den Ri Mi was a strict man who took any mission he was given seriously as 'failure' was not allowed. He was a pure strategist who preferred to fight his enemies from a distance with a keen view so he could observe the situation. He also placed a heavy emphasis on punctuality and manners, typically lecturing or angrily glaring at anyone who came off to be rude.

He greatly respected his lord, Ou Sen as his superior and was more/less able to understand the great general's point of view, like on one occasion at the center army's camp at the Battle of Shukai Plains, Ou Sen and Den Ri Mi understood each other's conversation with only a few words regarding Qin's Right-Wing force as a main key point of the overall war.

History

A younger Den Ri Mi as 100-Man Commander.

Den Ri Mi's early life isn't fully known in detail, but he joined the Qin Military as a young man. At a young age, he was already a 100-Man Commander, and his talents in warfare were well known across the battlefield during the era of the War God. Den Ri Mi, at one point, was approached by a man named Ou Sen who was asking for him. Upon meeting Den Ri Mi, Ou Sen asked how many soldiers he commanded, and Den Ri Mi answered that he was a 100-Man Commander. Ou Sen found that the rank was too low and suddenly promoted Den Ri Mi to the rank of a 1000-Man Commander in his army. Founding the offered interest, Den Ri Mi accepted it.

Den Ri Mi fought under his new lord, Ou Sen for years. He met his fellow commanders, A Kou, Sou'Ou, and Ma Kou during this period while rising through the ranks of the military and was eventually promoted to the rank of General. Within just a few years, he was made the Third Division commander in the Ou Sen Army. Not much else is known about him, other than being a commander who, unlike A Kou and Ma Kou personally leads their men to the battlefield. He preferred to lead his man from a distance so he could assess the situation and make the decisions of his command.
