Brave Hedgehog

**Brave Hedgehog (용감한 고슴도치)** is a manhwa based on *Squirrel and Hedgehog* that was published in 1991. It seems to be used as a base for second series' plot. Two volumes are currently known to exist.

The manhwa was drawn by Sangbok Kim and Shin Cheol Kyun.

The comic, in a stark contrast to the TV show puts the Hedgehogs in the spotlight instead of the Squirrels, as well as bringing in the other various animals in Flower Hill for heavy roles.

## Plot

*This section is empty or too short. You can help Squirrel and Hedgehog Wiki by adding to or expanding it.*
The manhwa features the main hero, a Hedgehog, fighting against wolves, foxes, weasels and mice.

## Trivia

* Whilst there is only implication (which SEK deny) that various parties in the series are based off of various nations, the manhwa makes it clear that this is the case at least as far as the comic's canon is concerned. The Wolves are clearly shown with "USA" imprinted on their helmets in subsequent marketing drawn by the artist.

* A male fox works with the Wolves. He would be the inspiration for the female fox, Officer Yeou, who would appear on screen almost twenty years later.
Search Commander

The **Search Commander (수색 사령관)** is an antagonist of *Squirrel and Hegdehog*, only appearing in the first three episodes of the series as an assistant to Commander Jogjebi.

## Overview

### Appearances

* The Lesson for Squirrel
* In the Den of Weasels
* The Revenge Battle of the Squirrel

Much like the positions held by Geumsaegi later, inside the weasel unit, he had access to any part of the base without needing authorization given by Jogjebi, also being able to call or communicate with any commander or unit at any time he needed, in addition to having knowledge of important operations such as "Operation mole gun".

## Appearance

A typical weasel unit uniform, a combat helmet, and in all of his appearances, his neck is bandaged.

## Personality

Search commander appears to be loyal and obedient. It is possible that he suffers from suicidal tendencies, especially when he's nervous, as he's often seen grabbing his neck, which could explain why it's bandaged.

## Abilities

Search Commander knows how to handle weapons and fight.

## Relationships

### Commander Jogjebi

The Search Commander is totally loyal to Commander Jogjebi. Since it does not question their decisions, this even includes condemning others to death.

### Geumsaegi

Initially, just like Jogjebi, Search Commander believed that Geumsaegi was the real "Big Field Mouse", however, after seeing better the situation about the supposed death of the "Small Field Mouse" and the arrival of the real Big Field Mouse, it was discovered that he was a spy from Flower Hill.

From then on, the Search Commander began hunting Geumsaegi through the base of the weasels. Managing to trick him and nearly capture him, but he was killed by Goseumdochi before he could hand him over Geumsaegi to Commander Jogjebi.

### Goseumdochi

Although Goseumdochi and Search Commander did not know each other, he already knew that there was a hedgehog infiltrated the base.

**Allies:**

* Weasel Unit
	+ Commander Jogjebi †

**Adversaries:**

* Flower Hill
	+ Geumsaegi
	+ Scout Goseumdochi †

Crows

**Crows (까마귀) kkamagwi** make up many minor antagonists in Squirrel and Hedgehog

## Appearance

Crows generally have black skin and gray beaks with wings and gray feet, their uniforms consist of an orange helmet, blue pants, dark brown vest and white straps and belt.

## Personality

crows are frequently shown to be loyal and smart

## Abilities

crows have wings so they can fly this allows them to be a type of transport for the weasel unit. Cause they can carry soldiers, goods or bombs. And they can also disguise as a statue or converge together to look like a rock

## Representation

it’s currently unclear of who the crows represent since nobody really pays attention to them and crows (just like mice) are found globally.

## Real life

Crows are large black birds that are known for their intelligence and adaptability, they are birds of the genus Corvus and they are found around the world.
Aekku

* Mid Season 1

**Aekku "One-eyed" (애꾸)**, also known as **Scout Commander (특무대장)**, is one of villains in *Squirrel and Hedgehog*. He appears as Chief of Staff's right-hand man and partner and a sole member of The Pact. He eventually takes Chief of Staff's position after his death.

## Appearance

Overweight orange/white weasel with a bit of a under-beard. The origin of his name is related to the eye patch he's wearing. Clothing consists of a Weasel Unit hat, basic trousers and combat boots, and his unique burgundy striped sweater with the Weasel Unit badge knit into the side. He also seems to be wearing a pistol holster on the side of his belt.

## Personality

Like most Weasels, Aekku is scheming, cruel and ruthless and ultimately only looks out for himself.

However, he has been noted to make some hard decisions for his side of the rebellion, such as choosing to allow the Chief of Staff to die rather than have their secrets exposed.

## Abilities

He is quite the skilled boxer as seen in episode 12 *"A Dangerous Enemy".*

## Relationships

### Mulmangcho

Aekku seemed to have a curiously cordial relationship with Mulmangcho. The pair schemed and plotted together frequently, and Aekku never seemed to treat Mulmangcho as poorly as other weasels tend to do with mice.

### Oegwipali & Mulsajo

Aekku, whilst seeming to appreciate the pair and all they do for him, does have his moments where he resorts to treating the two poorly.

### Chief of Staff

Aekku's original commanding officer in which he swore an oath to The Pact, that he will help succeed in overthrowing Commander Jogjebi. His relationship was of a superior to Aekku, in which he did what he was ordered to do by Chief of Staff.

## Death

During the events of Season 1, Episode 15 Operation White Snow Aekku has correctly deduced Juldarami as a Flower Hill Spy and becomes paranoid that he is out to get him. Believing he is being watched, he makes a plot to escape during the disappearing act at a circus. Participating under the ruse of being an enthusiastic member of the audience, Aekku slinks away and murders the stage hands and escapes.

Ironically, it was this escape plot that forced Juldarami's hand when it came to killing him.

After a prolonged chase scene through the snow and a scuffle in which Aekku comes out the victor, Juldarami manages to chase him to a hidden escape boat where he is finally able to shoot the weasel to death.

During the events of A Moment in the Enemy Rear, she pursues Mulsajo into the water whilst her wings are bound. Desperate to stop him delivering vital documents to the enemy, she plls the pin from one of his belt grenades and proceeds to blow the pair of them up.

In Operation White Snow however, it is revealed Flower Hill was able to recover her alive and bring her home to be treated.

She was finally killed off in An Explosion At Night, where she steals a helicopter in order to try and disrupt a large scale bombing attack from incoming Weasel Unit Warships. Similarly to Scout Goseumdochi before her, she flies directly into the enemy, blowing them up and sacrificing herself in the process.

* Mid S1 Grey Fur
* Early Season 1

## Relationships

### Chief of Staff

Although they were sent to different units, The Pact they formed still held in his mind after the Chief's death. It wasn't until later in the series he succeeded in what the pact was about, but failed to kill Jogjebi.

### Geomeunjogjebi

Without his motivation, he would still be a commanding Special Corps officer for Jogjebi. The push he made resulted in mangko and Geomeunjogjebi getting along for the short while they were alive.

### Commander Jogjebi

Unlike Chief of Staff or Geomeunjogjebi, Mangko really didn't have a grudge against his commander. he mostly played it safe and did what he was told. It wasn't until the push Geomeunjogjebi gave him where he decided to wing it and take over.

## Death

in episode 24, Commander Jogjebi fakes his death at the funeral, and Mangko, getting on his knees, says that he is glad that Jogjebi is still alive and blames Geomeunjogjebi, but Jogjebi tells him not to have two faces, then calls him a stupid fool for wanting to be the commander and kicks him in the face. Mangko is now scared; the coffin that Jogjebi was supposed to be in opens, and Jogjebi orders him to go inside that coffin and die. Mangko begs for mercy, but Jogjebi, (who doesn’t care) flips his portrait and reveals Mangko’s face on the other side. then Jogjebi says that it’s Mangko’s funeral today.

Mangko is carried by Jogjebi’s guards and he begs for mercy again. but Jogjebi said that the funeral must go on, then Mangko curses him, saying that he will also die and join him in hell. then Mangko is thrown inside the coffin.

Jogjebi presses a button, and the coffin glows with a surge of electricity, causing Mangko to get electrocuted and die while screaming loudly as the coffin bounces around.
Video Games

Video Games are still a relatively fresh media in North Korea, compared to South Korea and the West. Reports and articles indicate the gaming community is starting strong with arcades becoming very popular among North Korean youth.

With restricted technology, video games in North Korea look remarkably dated in comparison to most modern games. However, there is no shortage of properties in North Korea to take advantage of landing on a gaming platform, and Squirrel and Hedgehog it seems is one such franchise.

## Brave Scouts

**Brave Scouts (용감한 정찰병)** is an android game based on *Squirrel and Hedgehog*, which was released in 2018, 5 years after the latest episode of Squirrel and Hedgehog.

The earliest article about this game is dated March 3, 2018. No gameplay footage currently exists. It's said that the game employs 3D graphic and shooting effects.

Given the relatively recent date of the article, it has given some western fans hope that SEK may yet continue the series.

## Squirrel and Hedgehog Arcade Games

In the late 2010s, reports of North Korea's growing video gaming community came to the west, with articles and footage depicting how the relatively new trend is being received.

In 2019, a fan provided wiki admins with footage taken in the arcade of the Golden Lane Bowling Alley during their visit to Pyongyang. Two Squirrel and Hedgehog lightgun railshooters can be seen, looking similar in style to the likes of Time Crisis or House of the Dead. In one, we see a group of weasels and mice shooting at the player, and in another, we see a display in which four players assume control of Geumsaegi, Juldarami, Scout Goseumdochi, and Murori and storm the Weasel Unit.

Squirrel and Hedgehog games are still being made in 2020.

Commander Jogjebi

* Late Season 1
* Mid Season 1
* Early Season 1

**Commander Jogjebi "Weasel" (족제비 대장)**, also known as **General Commander**, is the main antagonist of first series of *Squirrel and Hedgehog*. He is the leader of Weasel Unit.

## Appearance

Initially in episodes 1-4, he had no real physical qualities to differentiate him from other weasels. In episode 5 onwards, he is given a Japanese Haori Coat worn over his regular clothing.

He has typical weasel features with his red fur and white muzzle and underbelly.

## Personality

Jogjebi puts great value in loyalty and will happily reward those who do not betray his trust. Those who do however, he has no qualms about killing.

However he treats his friends with a great amount of love and respect, never forgetting a kindness or a favour and goes out of his way to make them comfortable and happy.

He seeks to overtake Flower Hill at almost any cost and will not entertain the notion of regrouping with old traitors even to unite against Flower Hill.

## Abilities

Jogjebi commands a large number of Soldiers made up of Weasels, Mice and Crows as well as a large cabinet of advisers.

He is a better tactician than a combatant however, and his roles in active duty decreased substantially after he suffered a concussion in S01 E03. He appeared to have sustained some form of brain damage from said concussion, as he enters small distressing fits and migraines when under a lot of stress, occasionally causing him to lose consciousness.

## Relationships

### Geumsaegi

Jogjebi quickly became incredibly fond of Geumsaegi and clearly loves him like a brother. He often rewards Geumsaegi with high positions, luxurious vacations, parties and cars and seems genuinely fearful for his well being when he is injured.

When he finally saw for himself that Geumsaegi was in fact a Flower Hill Spy, Jogjebi was completely and utterly heartbroken that his closest friend was never his friend at all.

## Brave Soldiers

Mondo TV's dub of *Squirrel and Hedgehog* saw two characters take the role of Commander Jogjebi's character model. Commander Nettle took Jogjebi's role as it played out in the first few episodes of Squirrel and Hedgehog, virtually unchanged. General Malagatto again took an unchanged role to Jogjebi's character.

Why the character was split into two different character when the role was unchanged is unclear.

## Death

In Episodes 26, Jogjebi is put at gunpoint and is forced to launch his toadstool bombs at his army and try's to flee, where Geumsaegi pulls his gun and shoots Jogjebi's flamethrower causing him to explode in the sky.
Goseumdochi's Eulogy

### Song

**Goseumdochi's Eulogy** is sung only in The Great Service of Goseumdochi and marks the self sacrifice made by Scout Goseumdochi.

It stands out as it marks the only time a song is sung for the death of a main character, but is widely regarded amongst the fanbase as one of the most strikingly beautiful songs out of the soundtrack

Wolves

**Wolves (늑대) neugdae** make up many primary antagonists *Squirrel and Hedgehog*.

## Appearance

The wolves stand significantly taller than most other races depicted, perhaps with the exception of Bears and the occasional elephant spotted amongst Flower Hill's civilians.
They seem to universally have grey fur and have been known to have glowing blue eyes to show their menace.

## Personality

Most of the wolves are depicted as strong, burly but ultimately of low intelligence. Motivated by personal gain, they have been shown to cheat and steal over petty items and often try to use their size to bully smaller races.

## Abilities

The wolves already hold a distinct advantage with their height and build, and the wolves with martial training are shown to be able to shrug off the weight of a military jeep as casually as one might shrug off a tossed pillow.

## Representation

Whilst SEK denies the comparison, it is considered by fans and critics alike that the Wolves are representative of the Americans. Considering North Korea's turbulent relationship with the USA (United States), and how frequently they are depicted as villains, there are more than a few clues that lead people to this speculation.

A common media stereotype of America, is "the dumb jock" which many of the Wolf Unit soldiers seem to fit. They swagger around confidently and their military uniform seems to be worn more fashionably than practically.

Perhaps the most damning piece of evidence against SEK's allegations however come from a licensed toy in which a Hedgehog fires a gun at a Wolf Soldier bearing USA on his helm.

Ironically, many American fans report being flattered by the depiction! Whilst the wolves are clearly depicted as stupid, their power and finesse is seen as a positive, and Commander Seungnyangi, with his menacing voice and glowing blue eyes is often referred to as "badass"

## Real Life

Wolves are canine scavengers that are found globally and are considered one of, if not the most researched mammal on earth besides the human race.

Extremely adaptable to environment and climate, they can be found living in habitats ranging from scorching deserts to freezing tundra.

Wolves are commonly written as villains in folklore and stories, but evidence suggests they perhaps do not quite deserve their reputation. Whilst ill advised to approach them in the wild, many reports of wolf on human attacks are considered fabricated or exaggerated.
Commander Seungnyangi

* The Secret Document of Dr. Dudeoji
* To the Den of the Wolf Unit
* Enemies are Vicious

**Commander Seungnyangi "Dhole, Jackal" (/sʰɯŋɲja̠ŋi/, 승냥이 대장)** is a main antagonist in second season of *Squirrel and Hedgehog*. He is the commander and leader of the Wolf Unit.

## Appearance

## Personality

Very intelligent, cleverly tests Geumsaegi and Mulmangcho. Uses a fake Dr. Mole as bait.

Shown to not care for his lower subordinates, shooting the fake Dr. Mole when he was done with him, and ordering for a forest to be burned down to flush out Flower Hill scouts knowing that his own wolves could be burned.

He's a crazy driver and always drives at full speed, seemingly not caring if he runs someone over or not. Soldiers of Wolf Unit have learned to quickly clear the way when he's approaching.

Iron Crow

Iron crow is a detachment army in season 2 which consists of weasels and “mice waitresses” it's under the control of Dr. Huinjogjebi and they began to ally with the Wolf Unit. The name Iron crow comes from Huinjogjebi’s latest invention the “Iron crow” in which Commander Seungnyangi becomes interested in and schemes to try and get it using Geumsaegi. The weasel soldiers of this unit are the surviving weasels of the former Weasel Unit who survived the events of Pangulggot in Flames this is true because some of these soldiers remember Geumsaegi as Special aide of Commander Jogjebi
Commander Goseumdochi

**Commander Goseumdochi "Hedgehog"(고슴도치 부대장)** appears to be the primary Commander of Flower Hill's army.

He greets the viewer in almost every episode's "Young Comrades" recap section.

He is seldom seen in attire other than his Military Regalia, but has on occasion been known to adopt a casual style of dress.

In his first appearance, he is seen scolding the Squirrels for not believing in their own abilities to protect themselves and is notably kinder than their then protector Uncle Gom, who refers to the Squirrels as small and weak.

He regards the men and women under his command to be precious and takes their safety incredibly seriously. He has an almost fatherly relationship with his soldiers, embracing them and offering frequent encouragement and advice.

Goseumdochi also appears to be fiercely disciplined, as evidence suggests that he has all able bodied Hedgehogs partake in at least some form of martial training in order to better defend their home.

## Relationships

### Commander Darami

Goseumdochi's second in command. Goseumdochi strongly values Darami's advice and input in tough situations. He is at times concerned with Darami's occasional "hands on" methods of dealing with problems, but ultimately trusts him to know what he is doing.

Darami has been seen socialising in casual wear outside of military situations, implying the two are close friends.

* Whilst it is established squirrels deployed as spies wear masks, later animators mistakenly drew all squirrels with the masks as a muzzle. This was corrected in Season 2.
We're Little Scouts

### Song

"We're Little Scouts" is a trademark theme within the *Squirrel and Hedgehog* series.

It is played frequently throughout both seasons and has featured often in North Korean pop culture, including being sung in concerts and frequently performed by children.

Lyrics seem to vary somewhat between episodes, but the heart and soul of the song remains the same, to stand one's ground against enemies in spite of hardships to protect their homeland.

## Personality

Obsessed with power, he swore to his unit that he will be the new leader of the Weasel Unit. With this goal, his own willpower was the reason he made it that far. As polite as he was with Jogjebi, he wanted nothing more than to kill and take his place.

The sheer willpower this weasel had influenced an entire rebellion against an empire.

The Chief's trusted ally, he seemed to trust him more than anyone else in his unit. Knowing well he will always be by his side if he takes over the whole weasel empire.

Khatabah

Hamuhad!

In the Arabic language, this meant ‘residence of the sagely hero’, and this was where the Hierophant, Khatabah, resided. In Arabia, Khatabah possessed a supreme status, a true legend. His influence was far greater than any War God.

As a legendary existence of Arabia, he had numerous disciples and students across the realm. Many Governors and Deputy Governors had originated from his doorstep, and the most famous disciple of all was the Arab War God who Wang Chong had killed in the Battle of Talas, Qutaybah.

But this was far from Khatabah’s only contribution. When he first entered the army as a priest, Mutasim III had yet to be born, and the Arabian Empire had been far from possessing the influence it had today. At that time, Arabia was at most a small country that was slightly stronger than its neighbors.

It was Khatabah who made this empire coalesce like never before, rapidly transforming into a frightening war machine that swept over the bordering countries and became the strongest and largest empire in the west.

It was only with the foundation that Khatabah had established that Mutasim III was able to expand the empire to its largest extent, a vast empire of more than ten million square kilometers.

One could say that without Khatabah, there would be no current Arabian Empire. It was for this reason that Khatabah was called the Hierophant and possessed a supreme status. Just like the High Priest of the Temple, he was one of the most powerful and most legendary figures of the empire!

## Appearance

The man atop the black and red claw wore a clean white robe, and possessed a slender figure and deep blue eyes. His most striking feature was his beard, which was extremely neat despite its thickness. Several decades had passed since Khatabah had entered seclusion, at which time he had been more than eighty years old. But though so much time had passed, the only change to Khatabah’s appearance was a few whitening hairs. He still seemed to be around fifty years old.

Weasel

**Weasels (족제비) Jogjebi** make up many primary antagonists *Squirrel and Hedgehog*.

## Appearance

Weasels generally have red fur with white snouts and underbellies. Whilst many weasels appear very similar, few have distinguishing features that set them apart, for example Mangko who has a particularly large nose.

They are able to occasionally pass themselves off as otters in order to become spies, as noted in the Tokgasi agents.

## Personality

Weasels are frequently shown to be disloyal, devious and cunning.

## Abilities

Weasels are notably physically stronger than many races of Flower Hill, a great cause of concern in earlier episodes.

They are shown to be fiercely dedicated to their training and make superb marksmen and martial artists.

## Notable Weasel Characters

* Commander Jogjebi
* Chief of Staff
* Aekku
* Geomeunjogjebi
* Dr. Huinjogjebi
* Mangko

## Representation

Whilst SEK deny the comparison, it is considered by fans and critics alike that the weasels are representative of the Japanese. Considering North Korea's turbulent relationship with Japan, and how frequently they are depicted as villains, there are more than a few clues that lead people to this speculation.

Given that the mice (often considered to be representatives of South Korea) are subservient to the weasels, and Japan and the South collaborated frequently in the 1970s, it is not a stretch to consider the depicted relationship between mice and weasels to be a caricature of how the North considered Japan / South relations to be.

That Japan's history with Korea had until the mid 1900s been particularly bloody, it also makes sense that they might be inspiration for many villains.

Commander Jogjebi, the primary antagonist of first season, was given a Japanese Haori coat in his design, making a clearer connection. Whilst this design choice was intentional or simply coincidence is unknown.

## Real Life

Weasels are small mammals that can be found in various continents all around the world. They are often considered pests as they are known to prey on stock from farmlands or protected sanctuaries.

Weasels commonly prey on smaller mammals such as mice and squirrels, rabbits and fowl.

## Trivia

* Weasels are a common villain in North Korean children's media, and often similarly have weak, mouse cohorts.
Undochi

**Undochi "Silver Hedgehog" (은도치)** is a supporting character in season two of Squirrel and Hedgehog. Named for his fur being a silver-white as opposed to the usual tan coloured fur seen in the Hedgehog race.
He is established to be the younger brother of Scout Goseumdochi
He has recently completed his recruitment training and has begun his career as a Scout.

Undochi - as well as his friend Bamsaegi - are strongly implied to have been just children when Geumsaegi was first deployed. It is upon returning home that Geumsaegi sees that Undochi is no longer his friend's kid brother, but a capable young adult.

Like all hedgehogs, he is very disciplined and dedicated to his martial training and prowess.

## Abilities

Undochi is the finest of the Hedgehog recruits to pass his training. We are shown in his first appearance he has superb vehicular combat skills with automatic firearms and his quills.

## Relationships

### Scout Goseumdochi

Unfortunately we do not get to see what kind of relationship Undochi shared with his older brother, but given the general nature of Flower Hill and it's inhabitants, we can assume they had a strong brotherly love.

### Bamsaegi

Undochi looks up to Bamsaegi, considering him to be a superior combatant. It's implied the two are friends even before they opt into their first Scouting Mission together.

### Geumsaegi

Geumsaegi is implied to remember Undochi as a child and is surprised to meet him as an adult who has finished his combat training. He expresses sorrow over being unable to prevent his elder brother's death and is particularly protective over him.
Hedgehog

**Hedgehogs (고슴도치) Goseumdochi** make up many protagonists of *Squirrel and Hedgehog*.

## Appearance

Hedgehogs typically have tan brown fur and a head of dark brown quills. They are on the shorter scale when it comes to size and appear to have slight figures.

Hedgehogs are known to be able to disguise themselves as chestnut burrs by balling up.

## Personality

Hedgehogs are depicted as strong and determined creatures who value military discipline above all else. Seldom shown out of their military fatigues, they are constantly training and prepared to take down the next perceived threat that approaches them.

## Abilities

Hedgehogs, due to their strict combat training make superb soldiers.
Marksmanship and martial arts seem to come naturally to them, and they often use their quills as throwing knives.

## Notable Hedgehog Characters

* Scout Goseumdochi
* Commander Goseumdochi
* Undochi

## Representation

Whilst SEK deny the comparison, it is considered by fans and critics alike that the hedgehogs - and various inhabitants of Flower Hill - are representative of the North Koreans.

## Real Life

Hedgehogs are small carnivorous mammals found all over the world and usually feed on small insects and grubs.

Whilst in infancy, their quills are soft and pliable, but harden and sharpen as they mature.

Hedgehogs are immune to various natural poisons in plants and berries and often chew these poisons up and lick their spines and bodies. This is called self-anointing and not only masks their scent to would be predators, but poisons those who might attack.
Special Corps Commander

**Special Corps Commander** is one of villains in *Squirrel and Hedgehog*. He was a commander of Special Corps before being shot by Commander Jogjebi. He was succeeded by Mangko as a Special Corps Commander.

## Appearance

Normal orange weasel with a slender figure. Nothing too significant about his appearance besides his clothes. He wears a dark blue jacket, yellow shirt underneath with his signature sunglasses and blue combat helmet.

## Personality

Very hotheaded and dedicated to his job, he is just a soldier on orders. Unaware of his own self, he didn't even realize Geumsaegi bugged his glasses in Ep. 5 "The Continued Battle". Resulting in his death, he was framed for failing the mission in Episodes 5-7 and was shot on sight.

## Abilities

Besides his Wrestling skills in Ep. 5 "The Continued Battle", he is a regularly trained soldier.

## Relationships

### Search Commander

The only other weasel seen with him, he is a commanding officer just like Special Corps Commander. He can be seen watching him wrestle, and giving him updates on his mission.

## Death

Dusong Mangpoje

Accompanied the First Prince of the U-Tsang Empire on a trip to Great Tang.

This was a general of Ü-Tsang, Dusong Mangpoje.

Dusong was his family name, and Mangpoje meant “valiant eagle”!

Only the most outstanding offspring of the plateau would be granted the name of Mangpoje, and every clan would only have a single Mangpoje.

Dusong Mangpoje was one of "eagles" of the highlands, a great general of the empire. While his standing was still beneath Great General We Tadra Khonglo, there was little doubt that he was a pillar of the capital.

U-Tsang did not have many famous generals, but Dusong Mangpoje was undoubtedly one of the most important ones. The armies he led were fierce and valiant, and he was extremely intelligent, not relying solely on martial skill.

In the wars between the Great Tang and Ü-Tsang, the Great Tang had always held the upper hand, but once Dusong Mangpoje appeared, he seemed to offset this advantage.

Many generals, high-ranking officers, and veterans of a hundred battles had died to his armies, and the vast majority of these generals and officers had arisen from the great clans and noble houses of the capital.

One could say that as long as a clan had members in the western armies, they had a hate for Dusong Mangpoje that extended into their bones.

This hostility was incredibly intense and proactive. After all, as long this person still existed, the descendants of the great clans on the western border would continue to be injured or killed in great numbers.
