Qin or Qing? Because those two dynasties are separated by about 2000 years. For reference, this is the guy depicted and he was a legalist of the state of Qin. He’s a pretty interesting dude, with the foundational work for Chinese legalism being attributed (at least in part) to him.

Also he was executed by being torn into pieces, which is pretty metal.
