Makoro

Makoro was an unscrupulous ronin shugenja. In his quest for power he moved in 1160 to the Asako lands, where he asked permission to study in the Library of the Fiery Centipede. The Chief Librarian Moshi Ehime denied his admittance, suspicious of Makoro's true intentions. Enraged, he kidnapped Ehime's older daughter, the twelve-year-old Moshi Emi. Makoro sent a message telling that he would kill the girl unless Ehime allowed him one day within the Library. A group of samurai saved the girl unharmed.
