Zhanglao Mutou was a dwarf diplomat and eunuch of the Qian dynasty who lived in the 17th century. Sold as a child to the imperial palace by his family, he was turned into a eunuch early in his life and was trained as a servant of the imperial household. Zhanglao was taught to read and write and was employed with transcribing the orders of ministers for military commanders into letters. He would later become one of the tutors and companions of the future [[Xiaodan's Foot|Emperor Xiaodan]]]]. In 1640 he was sent as an envoy to the court of the [[Caphiria|Imperium]] to deliver a 3-meter tall gold plated statue of a peacock to Imperator [[Panocoscăr II]], to celebrate his twenty fifth years of rule and the good state of relations between the two nations. | |||
