+Eunuchs were historically castrated males, often serving in roles requiring absolute loyalty and proximity to power. They held significant positions as royal advisors, palace guards, or administrators across many ancient and pre-modern societies, from [Imperial China](/wiki/imperial-china) to the [Ottoman Empire](/wiki/ottoman-empire). This unique status could grant them considerable influence despite their physical alteration.
