If you ask me, I really do like the personality Shan Yu has. He's not much of a bombastic talker or anything to be sure, I know. However, he isn't just some generic conqueror, he's an arrogant son of a bitch who views any opposition towards him as a test. He was proud when he learned that all of China would know about his invasion. His ultimate goal is not to just kill the emperor, but make him bow to Shan Yu. He comes off as a quiet yet prideful egomaniac who wants to prove his strength by making everyone kneel to him. Like I said, not complex, not bombastic and affable, but there's just something I like about that understated arrogance.

Another thing I find kind of cool about him is that from any country being invaded by another, they will pretty much always view their enemies as Shan Yu: cruel, merciless, and bloodthirsty beyond compare. The inhuman look of Shan Yu the rest of the Huns make them look more like demons than normal men, which support my belief that every country during wartime views the enemy as Shan Yu and his Huns: non-human monsters who will ravage anything and everything in their paths.
