The infamous eunuchs of the Ming imperial court are the primary villains of Assassin’s Creed Chronicles China. The Eight Tigers have gone down in history as a real threat to the power of the Ming dynasty, but were they as villainous as their reputation suggests? What were the duties and responsibilities of imperial eunuchs? How did a man become a eunuch? How does castration work?
Matt Lewis is joined by Dr Che Huang to help him learn more about the Eight Tigers, and imperial eunuchs in general.
