Kitsu Yosaku

Kitsu Yosaku was a Maho-tsukai of the Lion Clan in the 12th century.

Embittered
Yosaku was son of a couple of Sodan-senzo, but he lacked the ability to commune with the ancestors. His dark nature grew more twisted when he was given a minor assignment in the Lion armies after his gempukku.

Bloodspeaker
Yosaku was recruited by the Bloodspeaker cult becoming an enthusiastic convert who had a gift for maho. Eventually, his thirst for knowledge and power drove him into the Twilight Mountains, seeking out the same potency which Agasha Ryuden used to create the Anvil of Despair. And thus he came, by chance, to the Lair of the Boar, a remote valley isolated from the Empire since the destruction of the Boar in the early 6th century.

Striking the Boar
In the fifteenth day of the Month of the Monkey the valley was assaulted by a bandit army. After three days of continuous onslaught, Yosaku took his opportunity. In the dawn of the eighteenth day of the Monkey he began to stir the dead during a torrential storm, attacking bandits and Boar alike. The defenders were forced to retreat into the keep Heichi sano Negura, and on the nineteenth day of the Monkey, the his undead forces assaulted the castle.

Death
Eventually a group of samurai located and killed him, thus his undead forces collapsed to the ground. This marked the end of the Nine Days of Blood.
