Background
Fan Rui is a native of Puzhou (in present-day Chongqing). He has untidy black hair and dons a suit of armour over his silk robe. Fan Rui excels in martial arts and wields a chain spiked mace in combat, presenting a fearsome image to his enemies. Besides being a powerful warrior, Fan Rui is also a master of Taoist sorcery. He can control elements of the weather and subdue various demons. He is thus nicknamed "Demon King of Chaos".
Fan Rui becomes the leader of a group of bandits on Mount Mangdang (near present-day Pei County, Xuzhou). He is flanked by his deputies, Xiang Chong and Li Gun, and they have an army of 3,000 bandits under their command. They rob the rich to help the poor, attack corrupt government officials and uphold justice.
