戴员 / Dai Yuan (late Han)

Overview

戴员 / Dai Yuan is one of the Danyang conspirators in Hanji 1067. The supplied transcript writes the name as 代元; the wiki normalizes the clear event to Dai Yuan / 戴员 and preserves the transcript spelling as source-scoped.

Current Profile

Dai Yuan acts with 妫览 in the plot against 孙翊. The episode presents him as part of the local strongman backlash against Sun-family pressure in Jiangdong: Gui Lan and Dai Yuan buy off 边鸿, hide the murder behind a madness explanation, and then kill 孙河 when investigation threatens them.

Dai Yuan is killed during 徐夫人’s revenge operation. While Sun Gao and Fu Ying kill Gui Lan inside Lady Xu’s room, the wider group of more than twenty followers kills Dai Yuan and the remaining conspirator side.

Key Characteristics
