Cao Pi debuted as a playable character in the fifth installment of the series, two games after he was stuck as a generic NPC while his first wife Zhen Luo (known as Zhen Ji in the game) Is playable in all installments. He's portrayed as an ambitious, ruthless prince of Wei, striving to surpass Cao Cao. Although he claims that he's not continuing his father's conquest, but starting one on his own, he greatly respects him. He wields dual edged swords and he can detach them any time he wants.
