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.

He also sailed back with the Caphirian delegation bearing [[Xiaodan's Foot]] and was the one to deliver the artifact into the Emperor's own hands. His good diplomatic offices and long personal relation with Xiaodan kept him safe from palace intrigues and in the Emperor's highest esteem. He retired from service in 1658 and died in Zunshi in 1663.
