Isawa Maasaki

Isawa Maasaki was a shugenja scholar of the Phoenix Clan.

Gisei Toshi
Maasakai was stationed in Gisei Toshi to study and catalogue nemuranai and had an assistant, Shingon Tsuken.

Nemuranai Discovered
In 1159 an old Maasaki's associate, Agasha Chunigo, informed him several months ago about a new discovery and the day before the magistrate of the Chunigo's village informed Chunigo's house burnt to the ground. Maasaki suspected a powerful and tainted nemuranai, could be in Phoenix lands and traveled to the village. No tracks were recovered from the house, and they traveled more to the north, toward the ruins of Shiro Chuda.

Chunigo
When they arrived the ruins, two shugenja were fighting, a Moto and a Phoenix Maho-tsukai. After the Moto was killed, the Tsukai uncovered showing a scowling demon mempo, recognized by Tsuken's master as Chunigo. Maasaki attacked the Tsukai, who fled. They informed Shiba Aikune.
