Bayushi Togai

Bayushi Togai was the son of Kitsuki Yaruma and Kitsuki Cheniko. Cheniko died giving birth to Togai in 1103, and Togai was believed to have died a short few months later. In truth, the Scorpion Clan had switched the infant child and raised Togai as one of theirs. In 1123 Togai revealed himself to his father, and told him of the imminent plot orchestrated by Bayushi Shoju to assassinate Emperor Hantei XXXVIII. Togai had recently been made Imperial Taster, and because of being an ancestor of Agasha Kitsuki he would be immune to the poison that would weaken the Emperor. Yaruma could do nothing, and committed seppuku that very night as the Scorpion Coup began.

""Shoju will defeat the prophecy before it can begin, and when we are done, Rokugan will thank the Scorpion.""
