Tsuruchi Oteke

Oteke was a ronin shugenja who joined the Tsuruchi as Tsuruchi Oteke before the Wasp were absorbed by the Mantis. Oteke fought in the War of Spirits, and was the lone sentry in the oupost at Sakana Mura. More than a decade of staring at the Red Lake awaiting a supernatural manifestation had given him an unnatural obsession with maho. In 1160 he was a fledging maho-tsukai, with the taint consuming his mind.
