A Bad Moon Rising Tide?
So Han Jae Moon has a pretty cool setup with meditating on the bottom of the sea and outwitting his own handlers, but something has occurred to me. He appears to be almost villainous or at least very menacing.
All of the other leaders are very much the kind of larger than life but still human figures that Thomas Carlyle postulated in his "Great Man" theory. Whom, as the YMMV page puts so exquisitely, could be seen as either heroes or villains depending on one's own interpretation and how they see them or the faction they lead.
Moon though, doesn't appear to posses as much nuance to his character. His psychological evaluation says he has a powerful ego, and he deals with those who oppose him in what is implied to be a lethal manner. He was a prodigy at a young age who was accepted into a program, essentially getting everything he wants. It doesn't even go into detail about his political "ideals" only his ability to play the game. The character page outright and aptly compares him to a Bond villain!
Now, history (and past Civ games) have provided us with examples of leaders who were generally good people, more commonly good people with some VERY notable moral lapses or vices, and then there are leaders who truly are monsters. Is Han Jae meant to be Beyond Earth's representation of that?
Thoughts?

Other than being (half)-Chinese, I can't really see what she has in common with Yang. Could someone enlighten me?
So, is anyone opposed to adding the Affinities?
