The terracotta army was discovered in 1974 by a group of local farmers digging a well. While they were digging they found a terracotta warriors head, and began digging to a huge archaeological discovery none to be the mausoleum of Qin Shi Haung-Di (The Terracotta Army).
Because they are warrior-like statues made of terracotta (a kind of clay). Actually, they were modelled after the best soldiers of Qin Shihuang. However, 'terracotta warriors', 'terracotta soldiers' or 'terracotta army' are all general terms, their full name is 'Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang' since they are called '秦始皇兵马俑' in Chinese.
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.
According the difference in duty, rank and posture, the Terracotta Warriors can be divided into several categories. These are: standing warrior, standing crossbowman, kneeling crossbowman, horse-leading rider, chariot driver, on-chariot warrior, junior officer & senior officer.
The Terracotta Warriors were built to protect an ancient Chinese emperor's tomb and his journey in the afterlife. They are in China. Each Warrior is different and has its own armour and weapons. There are even horses and chariots in this army.
