Yes, most of the characters indeed are based on semi-legendary Chinese figures, namely Shun, Emperor Yao and Danzhu (one of Yao's nine sons and the rightful heir to the throne). Jiao-Long on the other hand seems to refer to a type of dragon (long means dragon in Mandarin), but I haven't found anything related to Zhi, other than the meaning of the word "zhi".

It's not the characters that bother me for now (haven't played ToD yet, but I've seen some missions), as is the story, seeming hastily written and oddly connected to New Atlantis; it is set after the Trojan War (towards the end of the first millenium BC), whereas Shun, Yao and Danzhu lived in the second millenium BC. That is as strange as connecting the conquest of the Iberian Gothic kingdoms from the Moors to the Korean War.. :P
