Mariko

Mariko was a leader of the Unbroken.

The Unbroken were a ronin group that cleansed their own Taint with a Naga ritual. After the ritual was performed, a individual had one year to kill enough foul creatures to redeem himself and became pure, or die after the year passed.

Mariko was born with the taint, because their parents were also tainted. When she was three year old Ghedai performed the purifying ritual upon Mariko's father request. The man led a daring raid into the Shadowlands, capturing several goblins and carrying them back alive, helping his child to easily kill them. The rite still needed one more tainted kill, and his father aided Mariko to kill himself, using his own Taint to cleanse his daughter's taint. Mariko lived, strong and pure.
