 Zhao Gao
Zhao Gao 趙高 (died 210 BC) was the chief eunuch during the Qin Dynasty of China, who played an instrumental role in the downfall of the Qin Dynasty.
During the reign of Ying Zheng (Qin Shi Huangdi), Zhao was involved in the death of Marshal Meng Tian and his younger brother Meng Yi at the death of Qin Si Huangdi when Meng Tian was stationed at the northern border commanding more than 100,000 troops for the inconclusive Huns campaign.
Zhao was later pardoned by Shi Huangdi and returned to official status when Shi Huangdi recalled Zhao to be a man whom is good at his post.

Gao, in his letter, brought to the attention of the People's Congress the violations of law with China's judiciary system and deprivation of Falun Gong practitioners' civil rights, which has caused an enthusiastic response in China and overseas.
Zhao's fate proves one point, and that is, it's extremely dangerous for anyone to ask the central regime for democracy or propose a democratic reform.
Gao: Well, a reassessment of the democracy movement of 1989 and Falun Gong is not a matter of possibility—possibility is not on the agenda for discussion—it is a matter of inevitability.
