“	...Kan Ki...Things have always been fun when I met you...	”
—Zenou's last words before his death.

Zenou was one of Kan Ki's commanders and the leader of his clan of berserker warriors known as the Zenou Clan.

Appearance

Zenou was a bald and true giant of a man with that was said to tower over Great General Mou Bu. His face and head were covered in crisscrossed scars/tattoos and his eyes were consistently bloodshot. The canine teeth in his lower jaw were long enough to jut out from his mouth, making him appear even more bestial than his men.

History

Zenou was once the leader of a major bandit group until he was recruited by Kan Ki. He later joined the Qin Military while serving in the Kan Ki Army.

Story

Koku You Campaign Arc

During the Battle of Kokuyou Hills, Zenou was ordered by general Kan Ki to turn the situation around under Rai Do is a command.

Western Zhao Invasion Arc

Zenou, together with the rest of Kan Ki Army, takes part in the siege of Gyou. When city gates are opened, he and clan storms into the city, and kills many of the Zhao soldiers.

Battle of Eikyuu Arc

Zenou and his clan takes part in the attack on Ko Chou's HQ. He easily breaks through Zhao's guard platoons and kills commander Chou Ritsu.

Zhao's Retaliation Arc

During the Battle of Gian, Zenou helps Kan Ki to break through Ri Boku's cage although this costs him to sacrifice his clan for them to escape. He also takes part in the ambush on Ri Boku and leads a charge of bandits. He is hit with many arrows from Kaine's archery units, but he still persists against Zhao's forces. He then duels Ba Fuu Ji and the young man nearly cuts off his arm. However, Zenou is able to break his arm in return and send him flying. Eventually, when Zhao's reinforcements arrive, Zenou is fatally cut by Jyou Ka Ryuu. Though apparently dead, Zenou responds to Kan Ki calling out his name, thanks him and crushes Jyou Ka Ryuu's head with his bare hands before succumbing to his wounds.

Looks the most dangerous

Zenou was noted to have the greatest offensive power in the Kan Ki Army, and he was shown on multiple occasions to break through enemy's formations with his powerful charge. For his overwhelming offense he was known by the moniker of Kan Ki's Axe.

Physical Abilities

Immense Strength: Zenou's most obvious ability was his monstrous strength as he has been shown smashing through dozens of enemy soldiers on his own, sometimes even crushing their skulls with his bare hands. He was able to bend Ki Sui's glaive with a single blow. Later he was shown breaking Ba Fuu Ji's arm with a hit from his mace and sending him flying.

Immense Endurance: Zenou was shown to be incredibly durable, he was able to continue to ride and fight even after being shot with multiple arrows. After being bisected by Jyou Ka Ryuu, he was able to muster enough strength to crush the old Zhao General's head (although he died right after from his wounds).

Leadership

In spite of his brutish appearance, Zenou was a competent clan leader. He led his clan from the front to many battlefields.

Tactical Abilities

Though not on the level of Kan Ki, Zenou had a decent knowledge of warfare tactics and was able to enact quick strategies like the "Flare Hare" in the heat of battle.
