Doji Chonitsu

Doji Chonitsu was the nickname of a Shadowlands infiltrator. He changed himself into whatever best suited the needs of the moment.

Seeking Rare Goods
Chonitsu was involved in the trade of exotic goods and gaijin curiosities to and from the Colonies, a man who had assembled an extensive assortment of networks of alliances, and to have done so largely without drawing any public attention. Eventually he funded Akira, a ronin of Mura Sabishii Toshi, who raised a bandit gang who raided caravans in the Mantis lands, looting crysteel nemuranai.

Tanaka's Investigation
Yogo Tanaka, a Scorpion magistrate, began an investigation which eventually disabled Akira's gang. The ronin managed to flee to Mura Sabishii Toshi, and the magistrate followed suit. Chonitsu met Tanaka, deceiving and manipulating him. Eventually Chonitsu murdered Akira, to lure the magistrate to an ambush, where he killed Tanaka's yojimbo, Neddle. After the incident the creature of the darkness moved to a safer place.

Tanaka's Death
After nealy a year Tanaka encountered him at Crane winter court at Kyuden Doji, and later the magistrate met him again at Kosaten province. The aged samurai was found dead beside his journal, which was covered with blood.
