Biography[]
- Main article: Timeline (Total War: Three Kingdoms)
Liu Bei was born in 161CE in Zhuo County (Zhuo Commandery). Like Sun Jian, he grew up in a poor family, a member of the common class. Liu Bei lost his father when he was still a child. He was a descendant of Liu Zhen, a son of Liu Sheng and a grandson of Emperor Jing. From childhood, he was full of ambition and seemed destined for greatness. Empathetic with the common folk, he easily gained the people’s trust and support. This particular trait made him a feared adversary to his enemy Cao Cao.
Liu Bei is honest and kind to his friends, and well-liked by his companions. A modest and merciful warlord who cherishes his devoted followers, he is widely known as a benevolent and humane ruler, one who cares for his people and surrounds himself with great advisers. He is a brilliant politician and leader whose caring nature motivates powerful heroes to join his side and fight for his cause.
For Liu Bei, Dong Zhuo represents chaos, and he wants nothing more than to see corruption uprooted and the Han dynasty restored. The Liu family was only nominally attached to the Han, yet there are those who urge Liu Bei to save China from madness and restore the collapsing dynasty. Humble, virtuous and kind, Liu Bei is an inspiring presence, summoning strength from unlikely places, and forging unshakable bonds with those who follow him. Despite his common roots, the blood of ancient Han emperors flow through Liu Bei’s veins.[1]

Trivia[]
- Leader of The People is a title that given by The Creative Assembly to Liu Bei after his playstyle.
- It's said that Liu Bei has earlobes larger than average. This detail is reflected on the character design of Liu Bei.
- He is the only warlord whose name is written in simplified Chinese (刘备) instead of its proper form in traditional Chinese (劉備), possibly to differentiate from Liu Biao (劉表) below since both of them belong to the royal Liu family. However, this happens only in promotional posters and the correct character is written on Liu Bei army's banners.
