Hiruma Kenchuko

Hiruma Kenchaku was a scout of the Crab Clan. In 1127 he alongside Hiruma Iyatu were part of a scouting party that guided a Crab fleet toward Otosan Uchi, to assault the Imperial City. Every scout party had to pour a sack of flammable oil onto a stack of wood, and exactly one hour later empty a second sack of oil, lighting a fire. The Crab fleet moved silently through the black waters, along the coast at midnight. The fires allowed the vessels to see where the shoreline was, sailing safely toward its destiny, in the called Kisada's Blockade.
