Hantei Soujiro

Hantei Soujiro was the eldest son of the Emperor Hantei Kusada, and all his life was driven by the Gozoku conspiracy.

Family
Soujiro as the Imperial Heir was fostered to the Phoenix in 406 actually making him a hostage of the Gozoku's alliance. His other two younger brothers were later fostered to the Crane and Scorpion, the clans of the other two leaders of the conspiracy.

Death
In 435 his father died and Soujiro returned from Phoenix lands to become the next Emperor. His sister Hantei Yugozohime, who had been raised by the anti-Gozoku members of the Empire, appeared and challenged her brother, killing him on the spot. Her followers immediately took control of the throne room, seizing the Gozoku loyalists present. The Gozoku had fallen with Soujiro's death.
