viking?

lol Meng Huo is anything but a viking... he's the King of a primal tribe that fought against the three kingdoms of ancient China.

背黑锅我来，送死？你去！

In my country they name a dish after him, "Gà Mạnh Hoạch" (Meng Huo Chicken).
The chickens were raised in a special way, they were free to live in the wild to develop the quality of meat but in fact farmers could capture them at any time, just like Zhuge Liang caught and released Meng Huo 7 times lol

" ...spread his rule like wildfire…" *laughs in California" :(

This might be the link they forgot to link: https://twitter.com/totalwar/status/1297171667165351936?s=20

so can we be Meng Huo or are we stuck being the Fire Queen?

Can anyone tell me if his red coloured beard is somehow historically accurate?

It isn't, but it looks nice so I can forgive CA that inaccuracy ;)

Ganondorf?

南蛮南蛮南蛮！！！！！！！！！！！！！！

我孟获就是死外边！从这跳下去！也不会和汉人妥协的！

In MGSV: The Phantom Pain there is an Easter egg referring to him. Spoilers: After Quiet leaves your team near the end of your game, you have to redo the mission where you capture her 7 times to get her back. This is a reference to Meng Huo being captured and released 7 times before he joined his captor.

It might be a reference to him marrying Lady Zhurong, who is supposedly descended from the fire diety Zhurong. But then again, most things in Romance of the Three Kingdoms are not historically accurate, it comes from a fictional book written about historical people. So half and half real and fantasy.
