Lu Fang is a fictional Song dynasty hero from the 19th-century Chinese novels The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants and The Five Younger Gallants. He is nicknamed "Sky Rat" or "Sky-Penetrating Rat" (鑽天鼠) for his mast-climbing skills.
Lu Fang owns an estate on Hollow Island (陷空島), where he and his younger sworn brothers Han Zhang, Xu Qing, Jiang Ping, and Bai Yutang — collectively known as the "Five Rats" — are based. As their leader, Lu Fang is magnanimous, respectful, patriotic and heroic. He is also very protective over his sworn brothers, especially Bai Yutang, and can come off as sentimental or nagging at times. Lu Fang eventually becomes a Rank 6 Commandant (校尉) under Judge Bao.
