In all honestly I'm surprised I haven't seen a Chinese lancer, or a greek lancer thought. I wanted to make Zhang Fei as an NPC at one point. 'The Stand at Changban' would make an amazing noble phantasm. On top of Zhang Fei already having awesome endurance, and base stats. His fall would be his speed, and luck. He got his head cut off by his own troops for being a drunk asshole in history.

But besides that guys like the five tiger generals, or Alexander the Great would make great lancers.
