Yogo Junzo

Yogo Junzo was a shugenja of the Scorpion Clan in charge of the Black Scrolls who fell to the corruption of the Shadowlands.

Yogo Daimyo
Junzo was the Yogo Daimyo when Bayushi Shoju was the Scorpion Clan Champion, and assisted Shoju in the Scorpion Coup.

The Black Scrolls
In anguish over the death of his Clan Champion Bayushi Shoju and enraged at the Emperor for destroying his family and the Clan, he violated his clan's ancient duty and opened the first of the twelve Black Scrolls creating a deadly Wasting Disease spreading across Rokugan, bringing misery and death to all who contracted it. It also transformed Junzo, crafting him into one of Fu Leng's undead servants. He later opened the second scroll to create his base of operations, the Iron Citadel, deep in the heart of the Shadowlands. Junzo began actively seeking out the other Black Scrolls so that he might open them and help usher his new master's soul back into the mortal realm. He roused an army of undead, demons, and wicked spirits to aid in his goals.

Corruption
Junzo's corruption caused him to believe he had been chosen by Fu Leng himself to lead the Shadowlands against Rokugan. Junzo also believed that he had found some form of enlightenment, and even dreamed of becoming Fu Leng himself.

Nanashi Mura and The Maw
Junzo deemed Nanashi Mura a menace, and had dispatched an army of his most powerful oni commanded by The Maw to slaughter Nanashi's inhabitants. Morito Tokei had been stationed in the village by Toturi the Black, and he defeated the invading oni army.

Black Scrolls Stolen
Isawa Tadaka, the Master of Earth, journeyed to the Shadowlands and found the Yogo Junzo's stronghold. He sneaked in and stole several Black Scrolls, returning with them to Kyuden Isawa.

Fighting the Naga
The False Hoturi blocked the path between Mirumoto Daini with his Naga army, and Toturi the Black. Both armies clashed several times, without conclusion. The minions of the Shadowlands retreated whenever the naga gained the upper hand. Junzo later ambushed them, and naga army barely escaped alive, retreating to Unicorn lands.

Eleventh Black Scroll
Junzo sent Uragirimono to Doro Owari Mura, Road's End Village, to destroy it and to steal the 11th Black Scroll and a powerful tainted artifact known as Kenshin's Helm, that were hidden in a cave outside the city. The beast stole both items but he was eventually defeat by Shosuro Hametsu when, days later, favorable wind conditions allowed him to spread an incense poisonous to the tainted across the village.

Finding the descendant of Shinsei
Junzo was commanded by his master to destroy the monastaries of the Brotherhood of Shinsei, seeking the descendant of Shinsei to kill him before he could reunite the Seven Thunders. Junzo split his force into smaller armies, one of which was defeated by Otaku Kamoko in the Battle of Iuchi Temple.

Looking for the Black Scrolls
In 1128 Junzo marched against Kyuden Isawa, sacking Shiro Shiba on his way there in the Battle of the Phoenix's Flight,. Strengthtened by the blackened wastes that surrounded the Isawa Palace, the combined army Phoenix and Unicorn could not match Junzo's army. In the Battle of Blackened Ground Junzo captured the Black Scrolls held in the library within and set Kyuden Isawa ablaze.

March to Otosan Uchi
Junzo's the marched his army to Otosan Uchi to join his master, Fu Leng, who had possessed the body of Hantei XXXIX.

Death
In 1128, in the Second Day of Thunder, when Junzo retreated from his doomed army, Otaku Kamoko charged after him. Kamoko's horse, Hachiman burst into a sudden blur of speed and Junzo's body was crushed by the steed's mighty strides. Afterwards the Scorpion burned his remains and scattered the ashes in Traitor's Grove, though his soul had long since escaped into Jigoku.

Yokai
His corrupted soul became a Yokai.

Shahai's "Grandfather"
When Iuchi Shahai listened to the voices she heard, she travelled to the Forest of Dreamers, where she found a ruined house. Inside the house, she found a battered skeleton and a collection of scrolls. Painting a kanji on the skull's forehead with her own blood, she animated it, and the skull introduced itself as "Grandfather". Grandfather then told Shahai how to become a Bloodspeaker.

The ivory skull, with the kanji symbol of Void scrawled in blood upon its forehead, had a jagged crack that split the skull down the center, a bitter reminder of an encounter with the Unicorn Thunder two decades earlier.

Legion of Blood
In 1166 Junzo was one of many damned souls chained in service to Iuchiban and was part of his Legion of Blood.
