Dong Zhuo 董卓

Dong Zhuo was a regional warlord in service of the Han. He was known as a man with a cruel ambition which came to fruition when he seized control of the capital city of Luoyang in 189 A.D., after the battle against the Ten Regular Attendants. To fuel his power, he deposed Emperor Shao and set the very young Emperor Xian upon the throne, which he used as his puppet to indirectly control the land.
