Xiahou Dun is a relative (probably cousin) and close friend of Cao Cao. He is also the elder brother of Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Dun was trained from an early age in the use of arms.

It was during an attack on Gao Shun that Xiahou Dun lost his eye. Cao Xing, a general under Lu Bu, shot an arrow into Xiahou Dun's eye. When Xiahou Dun removed the arrow, his eye came out with it. "Essence of my father, blood of my mother, I cannot throw this away!" he said, put the eye into his mouth and swallowed it. He then went and drove a spear right into Cao Xiu's face.

Xiahou Dun died of illness in the year 220.
