Guan Suo was a warrior during the three kingdoms period in Chinese history. He served Shu Han, and was the third son of Guan Yu, and younger brother to Guan Ping and Guan Xing.
Very little is known about Guan Suo, both historically and in Luo Guanzhong's epic novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. According to the epic novel, Suo was an able warrior, and was involved in Zhuge Liang's Conquest of Nan Zhong, in which he helped capture the Nanman king Meng Huo.
Guan Suo's fate is unknown, with no mention of his death in either historical records or the epic novel. Some debate whether Suo existed at all, theorizing the character was invented by Luo Guanzhong.
