Moshi Kekiesu

Moshi Kekiesu was once a trusted follower of Toturi Tsudao, but took the death of Tsudao very hard. Her life then was in service to the Bloodspeakers, and it bred nothing but cruelty and treachery in Kekiesu's heart. Not even the sinister Iuchiban himself was above her scathing disapproval, for upon his defeat she turned her back on his cult, physical distance from Iuchiban allowing her to resist his dying commands. Her deceit was not unknown to Yoritomo Kumiko, however, and the Mantis Clan Champion gave Kekiesu a choice: serve her as an ambassador to the Ivory Kingdoms, or face execution for treason. In the Kingdoms, Kekiesu could find no privacy to conduct her black arts, and in time the philosophies and theology she learned there drove the desire for blood sorcery from her heart. Her experiences changed her, and she now longs to prove her devotion to her new Champion, Yoritomo Naizen.
