Emperor Angsiyan

Emperor Angsiyan was the Emperor of Cantha who appointed Shiro Tagachi his bodyguard after noticing his prowess as a warrior. He paid a big price for his trust in Shiro, as he was slain by the very man to whom he entrusted his life.

Note
In the Video contained on the Guild Wars Factions CD, during the scene where Shiro kills him, he has a beard, but in the flashback in the Harvest Temple, he does not have a beard when Shiro kills him.

It is suggested in the storyline that the emperor may have been planning to kill Shiro. However, if true, his motives are unknown.
