General Chén/History

This is the history of General Chen.

Cuphead's Assassination
"With Cuphead gone, we need to save him from his dead, and also, his soul from being trapped by the Army of the Republic of Vietnam, including the ducanger government. The road to Saigon is gonna be an ultra-long and impossible-to-reach one, but we're just only halfway through. We need to save Cuphead. Well, I think Mr. Chen has a good idea now."

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Cup Shard

After hearing about the news that show how General Chen's comrade. Cuphead, had been killed and had his soul kidnapped, Su Ji-Hoon, the Cuphead bosses, Mugman and all of their friends, including General Chen himself, all remembered that he saw ARVN soldiers killed his adopted sister named Đỗ Thị Xuân Luyến (1946-1975) in the year 1975 when he was a lieutenant of the People's Army of Vietnam and the Viet Cong from his past, just as Cuphead had been killed in a same way that Đỗ Thị Xuân Luyến had been killed by the ARVN, and that made General Chen have his revenge against the ARVN in order to avenge both Cuphead and Đỗ Thị Xuân Luyến.

Later, many Vietnamese people from different universes and worlds (including in Inkwell Isle and real-life Vietnam) came to General Chen so that they would need his help from the ARVN's attacks, and it will make him have his idea to establish the Provisional People's Army of General Chen (in which will later become the National Liberation Front of General Chen after President Diem died) in order to become a new allied faction.

Now this assassination will make him have his own army to fight against the ARVN.
