King Zhou
King Wen is a computer-generated character in the Three-Body game, likely based on the historical King Wen who served in King Zhou’s court. Using the ancient Chinese oracle the I Ching, he makes the game’s first prediction of the sun’s movement. When Wen’s guess is proven incorrect, Zhou has him executed.
