Background
The Water Margin describes Bao Xu as an ugly-looking man with a face shaped like the bottom of a wok, fierce bulging eyes and lips like a wolf's. He has a thunderous voice that strikes fear in the hearts of his enemies. Bao Xu excels in martial arts and wields a sword in combat. His only passion in life is to kill and plunder and is hence nicknamed "God of Death". Bao Xu becomes the leader of a group of bandits on Mount Deadwood in Kouzhou.
