Politician who rose from obscurity to command the armed forces when he became lover to Emperor Ai. Known for the story of the cut sleeve, where it is said the Emperor adored his male lover Xian so much that he cut the sleeves off his imperial robes rather than disturb his napping companion when he fell asleep on top of them. Forced to commit suicide on the death of the Emperor.
