徐夫人 / Xu Furen

徐夫人 / Xu Furen enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·秦纪》114-3｜荆轲刺秦为何久久不行动？在等谁？ as the 赵国 figure associated with the dagger prepared for 荆轲’s assassination mission. The episode follows 司马贞’s note that “徐夫人” here is a man, not a woman, and that his name is attached to an especially sharp dagger.

The source makes the dagger part of the mission’s operational design. After 樊无忌’s head and the 督亢地图 are prepared as access credentials, Xu Furen’s dagger is poisoned and tested so that even a slight blood-drawing wound can be fatal.
