Li Yuanba, the third son of Empress Dou, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, was named "King Zhao of the West" and "Fighting General" by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. He was the best hero in the world, the first of the eighteen heroes in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and was said to be the reincarnation of the golden-winged roc. He has the face of a sick ghost and is as skinny as sticks. He wields a pair of golden hammers and rides on a horse called "Wanli Cloud".
