Zhou Botong

Zhou Botong (Chinese: 周伯通) is a fictional character in the wuxia novels The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes by Jin Yong. A member of the Quanzhen School, he is highly-skilled in martial arts, having been trained by his senior, Wang Chongyang, the school's founder. Although he is already in his old age, he is still known for behaving childishly and constantly seeking fun, hence he is nicknamed "Old Imp" (老頑童; lǎowántóng). At the end of the second novel, he takes the central position of the Five Greats, the five most powerful martial artists in the jianghu (martial artists' community), to replace his deceased senior.
