Vanchu is identified as a Cathayan commander of ten thousand and a leader of the conspiracy against Achmath. The volume gives him a consequential role in the political danger surrounding Achmath, but records no personal history or transformation beyond that part in events.
Description
Vanchu is identified as Cathayan (Chinese), but the text supplies no further physical description. His height, build, complexion, hair, eyes, facial features, clothing, and distinguishing marks are not stated; only his rank as a commander gives him a position of authority.
