The Grand Tutor is an NPC in Arknights. He is a supporting character in Invitation to Wine.

Background[]

While appearing to be a frail, old man, this Lung is actually the current Grand Tutor (太傅; taifu) of Yan, one of the Three Dukes and the most powerful men in the empire just beneath the True Lung (emperor) of Yan. He acts as the assistant for the emperor, especially in the areas of military and governance. Because of his position and power, even the "siblings" of Sui have to fully obey him.

The current Grand Tutor has been acquainting with the evil Second Brother of Sui for a long time. While he was a humble disciple, he was led by his master to meet him within the brother's prison.[1] By the time he took the position, he made a challenge with the brother to set him free through a go/weiqi match; if he wins, the brother must willingly imprison himself for a period of jiazi (甲子), or sixty years. In the meantime, the Grand Tutor is not hesitant to use the whole empire as his bet to win the match. However, after the brother's first victory in the most recent sixty years, he kept his promise and set him free. It was not until the tragic "death" of Jie that forced the Grand Tutor to have another round of chess match with the brother once again. Even though he easily won the match and put the brother into his prison, the Grand Tutor could not stop him from fragmenting into 181 black go stones that will scattered across Yan.[2]
