Death's Hand

Death's Hand (originally Sun Kin the Hand of Heaven) is one of the primary antagonists of the 2008 video game Jade Empire. He serves in the game's first half Emperor Sun Hai and in the latter half Sun Li.

He is voiced by Sherman Howard as Death's Hand.

Life as Sun Kin the Hand of Heaven
Sun Kin was born as the youngest child in a trio of royal brothers. While the eldest, Sun Hai, became Jade Empire's ruler and the middle child Sun Li the Glorious Strategist became the commander of the Imperial Army, Sun Kin became the head of the monastic Order of the Lotus. In this role, his duties included direct protection of and servitude to the Emperor.

Prince Kin accompanied his brothers in the assault of Dirge as part of their campaign to end the Long Drought and steal the divine powers of the Water Dragon, the goddess of rebirth. The Hand of Heaven used his battle prowess to kill many Spirit Monks before facing with the Glorious Strategist on the temple's stairs Abbot Song, the head Spirit Monk. Kin attacked him head-on, and Sun Li cut the abbot down from behind. The three Sun brothers then entered the temple unopposed. What Emperor Sun Hai didn't know was that his younger brothers conspired against him, intending to claim the Water Dragon's power for themselves.

Princes Sun Li and Kin watched as Sun Hai gave the killing blow to the Water Dragon through the portal to the Spirit World and claimed her heart. At this point his brothers decided to make their move, and Prince Kin impaled his eldest brother from behind. Much to his and Li's shock, however, Hai didn't die thanks to the Water Dragon's power. He then struck his brothers with magical energy, sending Sun Li to fly across the chamber and giving him a chance to escape. Sun Kin was trapped by Hai's energy beams and forced to terribly suffer for his treason.

When Sun Hai found Sun Li's discarded armor, he used his newfound powers to trap the spirit of the nigh on dead Sun Kin into it to taunt Li. At this point, Prince Sun Kin became Death's Hand, a mindless puppet of the Emperor. The people of Jade Empire were told that Prince Kin had lost his life in service to the Empire.
