Well, he would have already pulled his con on Qin Shi Huangdi at this point, so his name would be known.
If he shows up, he's more likely to operate under a pseudonym.

Yeah, especially the way he pandered to that idiot with the crooked hat.

That's fine. It'll be at least another week before Kymvir does Liu Bang's!

No
Xiao He is done, and Han Xin is who I am working on now. The webpage isn't necessarily up-to-date with the bios I've done, because I've been doing a lot and Kymvir has been too busy with other things to edit them for posting.
Guan Ying is hard because he doesn't have a chapter. I think Kymvir said you could try for Emperor Hui if you wanted, too.

Yang Wu and Yang Xi's links don't work.
And the pinyin spelling should be Han not Hann for the kingdom name.
And here is Liu Ying's bio to add to your collection:
Liu Ying
The eldest son of Liu Bang, first Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ying was the Crown Prince of the Han Dynasty. Because of the frailty of his nature and body, Liu Bang wanted to remove him from the line of succession by dispatching him to fight the rebel Ying Bu. Liu Ying’s mother, Empress Lü learning of this, tricked Liu Bang and kept Liu Ying at home. Liu Bang was severely wounded in the fight against Ying Bu and died soon after in 194 BC, having failed in his plot to remove Liu Ying.
Liu Ying succeeded the throne, serving as nothing more than a puppet of Empress Dowager Lü. He tried to protect his younger brother, Ruyi from the empress, but failed. After the death of his brother, Liu Ying whiled himself away using alcohol and soon passed away in 188 BC. He had reigned for only seven years and was was posthumuously honored as Han Xiao-Huidi.

We are aware that Han is the correct spelling.
However there were two regions named "Han" in China. The one out in the southwest that Liu Bang was made King of, and the region right around Luo Yang that Zheng Cheng was made king of, and Zhang Liang came from.
To differrentiate between the two kingdoms, I am imitating Burton Watson by referring to the centrally located, and less important one as Hann.
Nice Bio
