Jinlun Guoshi

Jinlun Guoshi (金輪國師; 金轮国师; Jīnlún Guóshī; Gam1-leon4 Gwok3-si1; 'Golden Wheel Imperial Adviser') is one of the antagonists in the novel. Originally a Tibetan lama, he becomes the Imperial Adviser of the Mongol Empire and represents the Mongols in challenging the Han Chinese wulin (martial artists' community). He was known as Jinlun Fawang (金輪法王; 金轮法王; Jīnlún Fǎwáng; Gam1-leon4 Faat3-wong4; 'Golden Wheel Guardian King') in the earlier editions of the novel. The "Golden Wheel" is a reference to his weapon, which resembles a gold-coloured chakram.
