The 108 Stars of Water Margin
水滸傳
The Liangshan roster in rank order. The first 36 are the Heavenly Spirits, the remaining 72 the Earthly Fiends. Fates are condensed from chapters 90–120; a dash means this table's source summary does not record that person individually. Every row with a leaf opens into that character's own page — painted portrait, great deeds in chapter order, and the ending.

Modern ink interpretations painted for this site after the Ming drinking-leaf tradition — not historical portraits and not scans of any edition.
