History

The Council of Seven are the Si-Fan's elite warriors, who are also in charge of overseeing the Si-Fan's international operations. On Shang-Chi's birthday, Fu Manchu sent them to assassinate his son. The first two dispatched were defeated by Shang-Chi and rather than face Fu Manchu, they committed suicide by poison capsule. The next two assassins dispatched also failed, and both likewise committed suicide.

Afterwards Shang-Chi infiltrated their NY base, encountered two Council members whom he knocked out. Wearing their robe, he entered the meeting room where he confronted his father and defeated the other 5 Council members. A little over half a year later during a briefing given by Fu Manchu regarding the Si-Fan civil war, Shang-Chi appeared and once again defeated the council.

Notes

It appears the Si-Fan always have a Council of Seven. Like the Persian Immortals, defeated or killed members are replaced so that the council has seven members. Though Shang-Chi defeated the council members dispatched to kill him and they committed suicide, when he infiltrated the NY City base the council still had 7 members.
