Zhang Ren (張任) (?-213 AD)
In the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong, Zhang Ren was an officer under the warlord Liu Zhang. During Liu Bei's conquest of Shu (Liu Zhang's domain), Zhang Ren was responsible for setting up the ambush that killed the prominent advisor Pang Tong. After the battle, Zhang Ren was captured and offered a position in Liu Bei's army. He refused, saying "A loyal officer cannot serve two masters. I decline." He was then executed by Liu Bei. Later, Liu Bei buried him respectfully due to his loyalty to his master.
