They were buried
The terracotta warriors were made to protect the emperor in the after life, as for why are they buried I have no idea.
Hi well the terracotta army was buried in a well. Bye bye
The people that made the terracotta soldiers were buried alive with the king.

No, there isn't a figure made to represent Qin Shihuang in the Terracotta Army. It's reasonable that the emperor shouldn't be include in his honor guards. He is resting in his "underground palace" to the west of the place terracotta warriors buried.
I doubt that the terracotta warriors were modelled on individual living warriors. As models, they would look the same when dug up as when they were originally buried.
No, these statues were made in many workshops scattered around the emperor's mausoleum, then assembled, arranged and buried.
The majority remain buried near Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum in the Lintong District, Xi'an, Shaanxi province of China.
Answer: Some life-sized terracotta concubines we buried with the emperor to provide him sexual satisfaction in the afterlife. HOWEVER, the majority were terracotta warriors who's sole purpose was to guard the emperor's tomb.
The terracotta army in Xian, China is a collection of over 8,000 life-size clay figures that were buried in the tomb of the first Emperor of China. They were meant to guard the emperor in the afterlife, not to be displayed as a monument to him. Nowadays, they are a tourist attraction and regarded as a national treasure.
