Makasu

Makasu was the aged shinpu of the Temple of Eternal Redemption at Otosan Uchi prior to the Scorpion Coup.

Scorpion deception
He was accused many times as a potential Scorpion plant, accusations he overcame when it became apparent that the Scorpion held no interest in the temple. The temple was indeed a front for Scorpion machinations, alongside its sister branch in a temple outside the Enchanted Wall within the Meiyoko district.

Imperial Scrutiny
In 1123 Makasu was nearly 78 year-old, and the vigilant Otomo placed a spy near the temple to watch him, by the name Kokei, a candy seller.
