Officer Biographies
Please use this to discuss officer biographies of the period.
Xu Fu
Con Artist from Yuzhou. Convinced the First Emperor to spend huge amounts of money on diving for the lost Holy Mountains off the eastern coast of China. These Holy Mountains were the supposed location of the fabled herbs of longevity. Xu Fu ran off with the money and vanished.
Will this guy appear in this sim? I've read about 2/3 of the bios, and he is one of my favorites so far.

Probably not. His interactions in the history were with the First Emperor, who by our timeline, is already dead. Maybe Kymvir could bring him out as a guest GMNPC though? I don't think we could hardly do him justice to make him a regular NPC.
Oh, if I recall this accurately, those same mountains are the ones in RTK 9 that if you search there, you find Japan.

These events happened while Shi Huang Di was on his last progression through China. Xu Fu vanished about 2 months before the Emperor died.
So he's probably still alive and wandering China. I'm not sure if we'll have the time to play him, but there isn't a rule that every possible NPC must be entirely historically accurate. Maybe we'll let rulers find him, and they can make him rip themselves off! Yeah!

Heh, with that said, I don't think any ruler is stupid enough to have not looked through his bio and realize that Xu Fu's gonna rip him/her off.
