Qin Shi Huang or Shi Huangdi, originally named Ying Zheng (259 BCE - 210 BCE), was the first emperor of Imperial China and the founder of the Qin Dynasty.

In addition, Qin Shi Huang oversaw the construction of his immense mausoleum and the life-sized terracotta army that guarded it, as well as a national road system. All of these projects came with considerable human cost.

During his reign, the Templars assisted Qin Shi Huang, and in return, he placed Imperial China under Templar control. To this, the Assassins attempted to poison the emperor with mercury, but failed. Qin Shi Huang was eventually killed in 210 BCE by the Assassin Wei Yu, who stabbed him with a spear.
