Kuni Yori

No man has eve been spoken of with more fear than Kuni Yori.

Those who met him never forgot his piercing eyes, eerie voice and his sarcastic smile when he talked. Other shugenja whispered his soul had been taken by the Shadowlands.

He became the unquestioned leader of the Kuni after his father and brother were killed in a terrible accident while preparing for a ritual.

In his younegr years he studied under his uncle to become a shugenja.

When he became Daimyo he would keep tabs on other shugenja to know what work they were doing. It was not unknown that he would often enter other Kuni residencies unannounced.

His knowledge of the Shadowlands was extensive and had written numerous treaties on the biology and magical nature of Shadowlands denizens.

He was the sole caretaker of the works of Kuni Mokuna.

Some said his intrests had gone too far and it was rumored the Shadowlands denizens knew his name and feared him.

He had the ear of the Crab Clan Champion Hida Kisada and would advise him in times of emergencies. Kisada would not believe that Yori had been comprimised by the Shadowlands.

Yori would never speak to someone unless he wanted something from them and few could tolerate his prescence for longer than a few minutes.
