Yoshitsune

Yoshitsune was the Mantis Clan Champion and father of Yoritomo.

Family
Yoshitsune was married to Kirei and had three sons with her, the youngest of which was Yoritomo. His wife and two eldest sons were assassinated in the night by Cultists of the Destroyer from the Ivory Kingdoms. The reason for the attack remained a mystery, though believed to be over silk trade. It was also thought that perhaps it was due to Yoshitsune's involvement with the Maharaja's ginseng supply. The assasins left burns on the floors and walls of the Mantis Clan palace, reminding Yoritomo of the event for all of his life.

Death
In 1117 Yoshitsune committed suicide, and was succeded by his only remaining son Yoritomo. (3E p. 17)
