Gao Yuan Shuai aka Marshal Gao (高元帥), real name known as Gao Yuan (高原/高員), born in Sui Tang Dynasty (生于隋唐), the Imperial Consort (Husband of Princess Yu Sheng 為隋唐玉盛公主附馬).
In records, Marshal Gao was being forced to kill himself after Emperor Sui Yang (隋煬帝) suspect (by hearsay) on him of wanted to plot murdering the Emperor.
After Marshal Gao killed himself, his soul was being led to the Hade (冥府), on the way to the Hade, the soul-grabbers (勾魂使者) knew that Marshal Gao was actually a Heavenly Deity (天界仙真) who came down to the Mortal World for reborn (凡間投胎), so they delayed the task, just as they were to enter into the Gate of Hade, Xuan Tian Shang Di (玄天上帝) arrived. After doing several checking, Xuan Tian Shang Di knew that Marshal Gao was actually a manifestation of Lord Emperor Zi Wei (紫微帝君化身) and so, Xuan Tian Shang Di brought Marshal Gao’s soul to see Jade Emperor (玉皇大帝).
Upon reaching the Celestial Palace (天庭) and meeting with Jade Emperor, Marshal Gao was being bestowed with the title of Jiu Tian Jin Que Jian Sheng Jin Pen Song Zi Gao Yuan Shuai 九天金闕監生金盆送子高元帥 (meaning he's one of the Marshals that are being appointed to escort new born babies' souls to the predestinated families for reborn) - Gao Yuan Shuai always holds on to a Golden Plate or Bowl, which the Yuan Shen (元神) of the Child to be Born will be kept inside.
