Moto Vordu

Moto Vordu was a Unicorn Clan shugenja and the sensei of Moto Kubulai. Vordu was assigned by Moto Chagatai to study the City of Night in 1159.

While there, Vordu made several discoveries and came to a great knowledge of the City. As one of his many strange experiments Vordu created and inserted Shinjo Shono's Crystal Eye into Shinjo Shono, who fled from him in terror. He was contacted by the Tsuno, who hid their evil nature from him, and became their ally. Vordu unwittingly furthured their cause, which was to gain ultimate power from an ancient kitsu artifact.

Vordu was eventually slain by the Tsuno who were aiding him, but their plan was foiled by Bayushi Sunetra, Hantei Naseru, Shinjo Shono and Yotsu Irie. Horiuchi Shem-Zhe, who had assisted Vordu, was assigned to take over Vordu's mission in the City of Night, although he is being supervised very closely to make certain that Vordu's mistakes are not repeated.
