Talk:Wei Yu

Unnecesary information?

I don't think the information about the meteor and mercury pills on this page have anything to do with Wei Yu. Wei Yu killed Qin Shi Huang(di) with a spear, in the games' universe, not with any other thing. But I don't know why this info is on Wei Yu's page, so I will not remove it immediatly. Can someone explain, if there is anything to explain at all? Master Sima Yi 18:01, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

True history?

Searching through Chinese History books, I see no one with a name Wei Yu who killed Qin Shi Huang. It is true that the king himself has been a prominent assassination target, but among the assassins who attempted(and failed) to kill him, no one was name Wei Yu.

According to Record of the Grand Historian (Chinese: 史記), Qin Shi Huang died without a specific cause, while some study indicated that the King died due to overdose of mercury, which was meant to grant him immortal life ironically.

So, did Ubisoft invent this person to serve as an in-game figure, or did they misunderstand the history?
