Bayushi Nokane

Bayushi Nokane was a bushi and courtier of the Scorpion Clan.

Gempukku
In 1159 the Soshi was hosting the Scorpion winter court. Soshi Tishi, his sensei in the Honor's Lesson Dojo, had tasked Nokane with a murder as his final test to pass his gempukku. During a discussion with an Ide Diplomat and Doji Ijino, Tishi inclined his head to mark the target. A nervous Nokane called the Doji apart, silently killing him. Tishi was quite frustrated that Nokane misunderstood him, as the Ide was the real obstacle to be removed. The Unicorn had claimed the Great Crater pass was of their only use, and Tishi was managing to turn this.
