Guo Jing

Guo Jing (郭靖) is the main protagonist of the Hong Kong wuxia novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes and a supporting character in the second part of the Condor Trilogy, "The Return of the Condor Heroes". His mother, who was still pregnant with him, fled to Mongolia to escape enemies that killed his father.
At the age of six, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan found him and taught him martial arts. He encountered Taoist Ma Yu who taught him internal power. At the age of 16, he returned to China. He would eventually learn more martial arts from Hong Qigong and Zhou Botong, and become one of the most powerful martial artists in China.
After marrying Huang Rong and conceiving 3 children, he ultimately perished at the defeat of Xiangyang, on January 31, 1273.
== Appearance ==
Guo Jing is described as having thick eyebrows and large eyes, with a sturdy build, and a complexion that is somewhere between dark and fair. Frequently described as dumb, slow, and inarticulate, Guo Jing is the complete opposite of his clever and witty wife, Huang Rong.
== Personality ==
Guo Jing is honest and merciful, set against Yang Kang's continuous lies to Mercy Mu as he attempts to maintain her good opinion and serve the Jin Empire. He is also a kind and chaste fellow, willing to help people just because it's the right then to do. In his own words, Guo Jing doesn't want to kill or hurt people, but he doesn't want to get killed or injured himself. 
== Abilities ==
By the time Guo Jing entered his 30's, he was among the most accomplished and powerful martial artists of his era. His wide range of great martial arts skills was unmatched among the martial artists of the Central Plains.
His martial arts and combat repertoire included:

Guo Jing was among the finest archers in the Mongol Empire, trained by the greatest Mongolian archer of his era and military leader Jebe for over a decade. Guo Jing famously shot down two condors with a single arrow during his youth in Mongolia.
=== Mongolian Wrestling ===
Guo Jing was an accomplished wrestler in the Mongolian style of wrestling, a style of combat that would later help him in battle.
