Who was Zhang Fei?

Zhang Fei, style name Yide, was a military general who served under the warlord Liu Bei in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and early Three Kingdoms period. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who were among the earliest to join Liu Bei, shared a brotherly relationship with their lord and accompanied him on most of his early exploits. Zhang Fei fought in various battles for Liu Bei, including: the Red Cliffs campaign, Liu Bei's takeover of Yi Province and the Hanzhong Campaign. He was assassinated by his subordinates in 221 after serving for only a few months in the state of Shu Han.
