* BlackKnight: His real nature. He was the original owner of the armor worn by Death's Hand, and returns to the aesthetic after his coup succeeds.
Added DiffLines:
** He points out that he ruled dutifully in accord with the Celestial Order, and [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished was beaten down by drought and plague that threatened to destroy the Empire and his dynasty for no fault of his own.]] [[spoiler: So he decided to upturn the natural order and *Make* the Empire stable.]]

* ThenLetMeBeEvil: [[spoiler: Just about the only sympathetic trait he has. He was once a good, dutiful Emperor who obeyed the will of the Celestial Order up until said order decided his dynasty had to end because reasons.

* TheStarscream: Relatively sympathetic example. He plotted with his brother Sun Li to betray their brother, the Emperor, both for power and out of Sun Kin's concern about their eldest brother growing power hungry. [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished it does not go well for him.]]
Added DiffLines:
* TheStarscream: Decidedly unsympathetic example. He conspired to murder the Emperor and seize his power in order to rule the Empire, and the entire plot amounts to his Plan B to achieve this. It works, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard though not necessarily for long.]]

* LackOfEmpathy: As claimed by Master Li...... misleadingly. While Death's Hand acts without remorse or pity, that is because it cannot due to being controlled by the Emperor. In contrast, Master Li is the original owner of the armor and actually fits.
