Gan Ning's Bells

Origin
Gan Ning was a pirate turned trusted general during the Han Dynasty. As a pirate, he instilled fear into his victims by wearing colorful outfits and bells to signal his murderous methods and flaunt his wealth. He first became a subordinate of royal administrator Huang Zu. However, Huang never respected Gan’s work in the years they worked together, even after Gan saved Huang’s life. Fellow general Su Fei wholeheartedly supported Gan’s talents, but was unable to convince Gan to stay. He instead decided to sell his services to rival lord Sun Quan, who quickly treated Gan as a valuable asset. With Gan’s knowledge of enemy held area and his own strategic skill, Sun’s armies decisively won battles at Jiangxia, Red Cliffs, Xiaoyoa Ford and Ruxu. In many battles, he and his troops performed amazing feats of archery to take down commanding generals.

Gan was well known for his immense likability with certain people. While working under Huang and especially Sun, his soldiers respected Gan for his motivation to fight alongside them and willingness to sacrifice himself for them. This extended to former friends, as he pleaded with Sun Quan to release Sui Fei as Gan was indebted to Sui for rescuing him from death.

On the other hand, Gan was also extremely disliked by others, including his first commander Huang Zu. Several lieutenants in Sun’s camp hated Gan for his preferred status by Sun or his violent actions towards fellow camp members for disobedience.
