Muhonarak

Muhonarak was the First Ogre.

The Legend of Muhonarak
Muhonarak was born where the flaming river of the Burning Peak met the sea. Since his birth, he knew no fear; and he stole his first breath from a passing hawk. The legend says that he was created by the Heavens in order to defeat the champions of other realms, so that mortals could live in peace. For that, he needed an army, and so, from his first hundred steps, a hundred ogres were born, and they were called the Mikata. Before arriving to Rokugan, Muhonarak fought and defeated many opponents, including the Great Wolf Yugoth.

Coming to Rokugan
When Muhonarak lead his Mikata to Rokugan, he was confronted by the leaders of the Five Races, who challenged the ogres to two contest. Muhonarak fought a battle of strength against the mightiest warrior of the Five Races: The King of Trolls. After a hard battle, the First Ogre used his agility to defeat the Troll. Then Muhonarak faced a contest of riddles against the wisest Kitsu. After answering the first question of teh Kitsu, the Ogre asked one of his own; but before the lionman was able to answer, Muhonarak choked him to death. Since the Kitsu was now unable to answer, Muhonarak was declared the winner.

For his win, the ogres were granted the lands on the far south, were they enslaved the nezumi

The Champion of Evil
Two hundred years later, an army of demons and undead invaded Rokugan. The were the followers of a Tiger-like shapeshifting demon, The Rakshasa, the selected Champion of Jigoku. After three days of fighting, Muhonarak was able to defeat his opponent, but his was badly wounded.

Muhonarak's Death
While he was recovering from his injuries, Muhonarak was attacked by a nezumi carrying a dagger made of out of the claw of the King of Wyrms. While Muhonaral was able to slay the assasin, he died soon afterwwards. This began the age of the ogre enslavement by the nezumi.
