Taigong Wang

A legendary tactician from ancient China. Born Jiang Shang, he is also known as Shi Shangfu, Jiang Taigong, and Jiang Ziya. One day, he was fishing on the north bank of the Wei River when King Wen of the Zhou dynasty happened by. King Wen realized he had found the sage his father Taigong had been waiting for, and granted him the title "Taigong Wang," meaning "my father's wish."

Taigong Wang was instrumental in King Wen and King Wu's efforts to overthrow the Yin dynasty. He was rewarded for his service with land on the Shangdon peninsula, which he turned into the state of Qi, where he served as ruler during the Spring and Fall Warring States period.

In the Ming period novel "Fengshen Yanyi," or the "Investiture of the Gods," Taigong Wang is depicted as a Taoist practitioner with supernatural powers.


According to Taigong Wang himself, "It's too bad, really. If I'd only been summoned as a Caster, I'd have definitely been Grand Caster."
