Lu Bo She (呂伯奢) is a greedy sworn brother to Cao Cao's father. He first appears in the 10th Round, visited by Cao Cao and Guan Yu when they were on the run from Dong Zhuo's henchmen. Unbeknownst to them, Dong Zhuo went to him first and threatened to kill his parents if he ever avoided turning in Cao Cao and Guan Yu should they come to him. He tried to protect them by hiding the road signs and pretending to be dead in order to keep them away. He failed, however, and handed them over to Dong Zhuo in the morning.
