Fade

Otaku Isas was a man who lied about Bayushi Tomaru, but only survived the insult because he fled beyond the borders of Rokugan before Tomaru could kill him. Isas later returned as the bandit known as Fade.

Fall from Grace
Some time before the Scorpion Coup and the Siege of Shiro Usagi, Tomaru publicly humiliated a Otaku Isas. Isas demanded a duel, but on the day of the duel, he fell ill. Convinced he had been poisoned by Tomaru, he asked for a postponement, and was granted one, though he became a laughingstock as a result. Before the second duel, he was meticulously careful about his food and drink, but he still fell ill. Isas refused to duel in his disadvantaged state and fled.

Notorious Bandit
Isas later became known as Fade, the most dangerous bandit in the Ryoko Owari Toshi area.
