Geun-Tae Lee

Lee Geun-Tae is the general of the Earth Tribe and he is the husband of Yun-Ho. He serves under Soo-Won after acknowledging his strength during the Battle Game Festival held in Chi'Shin. Geun-Tae is a bearded, dark-skinned man who is almost never seen without a proud snarl on his face. He has brown almond eyes (yellow in the anime) and long untidy dark brown hair that he ties in a ponytail using a rope-like ornament with tassels on both ends. His fringes cover most of his forehead and some of its strands hang to the sides of his face.

Whenever he goes to the castle, he wears an outfit chosen by his wife: a brown leather overcoat with animal-prints atop a white robe with yellow-patterned hemlines, a two-layered purple beaded necklace, and a pair of black boots. While at home, he dons a simple robe where his scars can be visibly seen. Like the people in the Wind Tribe, he likes to take everything easy. He never considers the hierarchy on his tribe and he lets his people talk to him as if he is just an ordinary citizen. He also likes picking fights, especially against Han Joo-Doh, who he never shares a stable relationship with.

However, as a general who fought on Emperor Joo-Nam’s era, he believes that he belongs to the battlefield and has been eager to use his skills and fight on the frontlines again. Ever since the banning of war under Emperor Il’s reign, he grew rusty and has been looking for a capable king who he can lend his strength to. Because of this, he will threaten a king of rebellion if he sees him not fit for the position.
