There's a bit of a lack of historical understanding in these comments, with the exception of ZEvilMustache. Eunuchs were the only men entrusted with the care of the Emperor's harem (for obvious reasons), and they often springboarded into positions of authority from there. It'd be a pretty absurd game that had undead horrors and monstrosities but baulks at the idea of depicting a castrated man despite their relevance to the setting.
I can't speak to the flavour though, particularly in Red. He's a government official, even if he's secretly using the system for his own ends. Seems Black, even if the mechanic's Red.

In many cultures, Eunuchs have a distinct social/political role. Like government officials. I see these guys using their political influence to have someone "rubbed out." It's a bit of a stretch flavor-wise, but I don't see them opening a flood-gate of gender ambiguity in future design.

Eunuchs? What the hell? Who thought this flavor was appropriate?
Next set, I can't wait for "Evil Transvestites." Pretty powerful card.
