Guan Yu

Guan Yu alternately known as Kanshou or Guan Di (關帝), is a recurring demon in the series.

History
Guan Di (Lord Guan) is the title given to General Guan Yu who was active during the Three Kingdoms Era of China. He was deified because of his accomplishments and loyalty towards his lord. He is held in high regards in Confucianism and is also worshiped as an indigenous Chinese deity, a bodhisattva in the Chinese Buddhist tradition and as a guardian deity in Taoism. He was widely popularized by the Chinese historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

In Western culture, he is often mistaken as the Taoist God of War when in fact Guan Yu does not bless those who go in to battle, but those who take an Oath of Brotherhood and stand up for righteousness. Oddly, he is worshiped by both the Chinese Police force (for standing up for rightousness) and also by the Triads (who place high emphasis on loyalty and brotherhood).

In Chinese Buddhism, he is known as Sangharama and is often paired with Skanda. He is charged with guarding the Buddhist faith and dharma.
