Ondal, most commonly, and endearingly, referred to by Koreans as babo Ondal (“Ondal the fool”), was a commoner and general of the Goguryeo kingdom of Korea. Though simple minded, he rose from common origins to become a remarkable and brave general, dieing during an attempt to reclaim Mt. Acha from the rival kingdom of Baekje in 553.
