He Hong'er (何紅兒; born 727),[1] also known as Scarlet Thread (紅線),[2] was a Hidden One during the Tang dynasty.[3] She was the childhood sweetheart and wife of Yan Jiming.[1]
A year following An Lushan's assassination by Li E, He Hong'er, with the rest of the Changshan survivors, joined Li E's new brotherhood of Hidden Ones, with her adopting the alias of Hongxian,[2] inspiring the short story written a decade later.[4]
Behind the scenes
He Hong'er is a supporting character in Assassin's Creed: Dynasty (2020). According to the manhua's promotional material, she is based on the titular character of the fictional tale "The Legend of Scarlet Thread" (紅線傳), which is part of a late Tang anthology of short stories titled Ballads of Timely Rainfall (甘澤謠) and written by Yuan Jiao (袁郊).
The initial name given in her character profile was He Shi (何氏).[3] Shi (氏), literally 'clan', is a suffix with a meaning akin to English Ms or née. She is never referred to as He Shi in the actual manhua since her full name He Hong'er is used. This name is original to Assassin's Creed: Dynasty. In "The Legend of Scarlet Thread", her real name is neither revealed nor is the origin of her alias Scarlet Thread explained. Assassin's Creed: Dynasty offers its own account of the alias. It can be inferred in its finale that she adopts it in reference to the red headscarf left behind with Yan Jiming's head, for the red thread of fate is an East Asian motif symbolizing the destiny of true lovers. Moreover, her given name Hong'er (紅兒) itself means the colour red, with er (兒) being a diminutive suffix.
Despite pre-release media promoting He Shi as a major Assassin character, He Hong'er only joins Assassin protagonist Li E's party in the fifth and final volume, The Hidden Ones, and is only officially inducted at the ending.
