Than Shwe

Since 1992, Than Shwe has been the head of the ruling military junta in Myanmar, which used to be Burma, and now is desolate. He came to the ELL in Season 4 and has flexed his evil muscle by beating Buddhist monks. The torture the monks receive is very brutal. Their robes are pulled over their heads and then they are pink bellied until they agreed to accept Than Shwe and his autocratic rule.

After a devastating cyclone in the summer of 2008, Shwe did not allow foreign aid agencies to help his people because he enjoys watching humans suffer. It's his second favorite hobby, right behind playing canasta.

Overall record against each opponent

Than Shwe won the ELL championship in Seasons 6 & 7.

Fun fact: The Dalai Lama said that Shwe reminds him of a "goat's sphincter." The feeling is more than mutual.
