He always obeys the orders of his lord Cao Cao and does what is necessary to fullfil his dream of a united land. In contradiction to most of the other members of the Cao Family,Cao Ren is not stuborn and hot-tempered,but rather calm. He generally does not like fighting and thus often remains behind doing administrative things. He is strong-willed considering the various defenses he participated in and can often hold cities for many months despite being outnumbered and the tide of battle shifting in favor of the opposing force. Cao Ren often appears cold because of his unshaken loyalty and his behavior towards the law,having difficulties to build friendly relationships with other people. Appearance:Cao Ren is quite short for men of his time, but he is sturdily built. He has brown eyes, just as everyone else in his family, as well as black hair. The length of his hair is not too long, but not too short. It would fit into a Xiao Guan headwear in court but doesn't impede him in battle. He has a fully grown beard which is black with a few grey stripes. Apparel/Armour:Cao Ren is pretty much packed into a strong,protective armor that covers every part of his body. The only uncovered place is his face. Weapon(s):Speer and a sword. History:Cao Ren was born in 167 in Peiguo, Yu Province, as the first son of Cao Chi. When he was young, he was very undisciplined and unruly. His father often urged him to change, but Cao Ren did not care. As he grew older, he realized what his father meant and from then on he became disciplined and began to obey the laws. He was taught how to shoot with a bow and how to ride a horse and proved great skill in these two activities. In 190, his older cousin Cao Cao called for arms against Dong Zhuo. Cao Ren, along with his younger brother Cao Chun and several men, joined Cao Cao. During the next years, Cao Ren proved valuable in controlling larger areas and cities. When Lu Bu invaded Yan, he was able to recover a few cities. He also aided Cao Cao in subduing Tao Qian and Yuan Shu. During Cao Cao's battle against Yuan Shao at Guandu, Cao Ren was able to defend Xuchang from an attack by Liu Bei and one year later, he was able to conquer Runan. In the subsequent years, Cao Ren governed the Central Plains districts during Cao Cao's campaign against the remnants of Yuan Shao's family as well as his campaign south. After the defeat at Chibi, Cao Ren was ordered to defend Nanjun against Zhou Yu and Liu Bei. During the siege, his subordinate Niu Jin attacked the enemy but found himself in a difficult situation. Cao Ren rode out and rescued all of Niu Jin's men. The siege lasted for one year until Cao Ren had to retreat. Following this defeat, he governed the area of Xiangyang and defended it from numerous attacks. In 219, Guan Yu advanced with his army on Xiangyang. The city fell and Cao Ren retreated to Fancheng. Despite being outnumbered and a flood, Cao Ren stood firm and drove Guan Yu away with Xu Huang. However, because of betrayel within the ranks of Wu, Guan Yu was able to counterattack and advance up to Xinye. Cao Ren was left no other choice but to give in and retreat.

His men were spared and he himself became a prisoner. During Xu Huang's counterattack, he managed to escape in the chaos and returned to Fancheng.

Yu Jin chose to fight this time and managed to hold off Guan Yu for some time so that most of the troops could retreat north, until he himself chose to retreat as well. For this act, Cao Ren saw him as redeemed, as he was able to recover all of the men who had surrendered and swore to keep quite in front of Cao Cao.
