Gaman

Gaman was the Master of the Four Temples, the post recognized as Head of the Brotherhood of Shinsei, during the First Gozoku. When the Emperor Hantei Kusada ordered the monks to be their agents and spies in his effort against the conspirators, the Brotherhood accepted it. Eventually four monks were exposed during their concealed activities, and executed. Gaman was sent to prison and three sohei monasteries burnt to the ground, turning the peasantry against the Gozoku alliance.
