Like Cheng-Huang, Kuan-Ti was a god based on a real man. According to the story, he was born poor and when he was a child he sold tofu for a living on the street (but historians say tofu was not actually invented until the Sung Dynasty, hundreds of years later). He was a famous general during the Han Dynasty (about 200 BC-200 AD). Kuan-Ti is always shown as a red-faced man dressed in green. He was a war god, who also protected people from evil demons, and from anything that was unfair. He's different from other war gods like the Greek god Ares because Kuan-Ti never starts wars, he only defends you when someone attacks you. He also could tell you the future.
