Matsu Gohei

Matsu Gohei was a bushi of the Lion Clan, nicknamed The Butcher.

Family
Gohei was son of Matsu Ochiman and the cousin of Matsu Tsuko and Matsu Hiroru.

Ancestors
Gohei was a descendant of Matsu Yukari.

Toshi Ranbo
In 1126, in the month of the Tiger, Matsu Gohei attacked Toshi Ranbo wo Shien Shite Reigisaho, and won. Without mercy, he let any Crane samurai there commit seppuku and killed any who "didn't have the courage to do it". His actions here won him the nickname "The Butcher"

Defeated by Shiba Tsukune
Next target was Kyuden Doji, but in one skirmish he was defeated by Shiba Tsukune.

Properous Plains City
Later that same year, in the month of the Rat after the siege of Kyuden Doji, Matsu Gohei's forces encountered a large undead army outside Prosperous Plains City. The Lion emerged victorious thanks to the unexpected help of the Broken Shinbone Tribe. Gohei allowed many of the starving Nezumi to serve as conscripts in his army.

Hidden Emperor
Following the disappearance of Toturi I in 1130, Gohei was politically outmaneuvered and charged with "escorting" the Scorpion Clan into the Burning Sands for their exile. Gohei died sometime later in the Burning Sands.

Return
Matsu Gohei returned to Rokugan through Oblivion's Gate in 1133, where he killed Abresax during the Battle of Oblivion's Gate.
