Soshi Eiji

Soshi Eiji was a very influent Scorpion Clan Courtier. He became the recruiter of Emperor Toturi the First during the Spirit Wars

The Jalousy and bad behaviours
Eiji was one of the two sons of a rich member of the Soshi family. When his father died, his brother Soshi Ippei inherited more much than Eiji. Eiji was not happy about that and used his position of Emperor's recruiter to send his brother, that was not a warrior, to the legions that fought the armies of the Steel Chrisantemum in the last period of the Spirit Wars. Ippei died in one battle and Eiji inherited all the richness of his father.

Saved by a Kitsune
Eight years after the death of his brother, Eiji was travelling to Kyuden Doji where he would pass the winter as ambassador of the Scorpion Clanon the Crane Clan lands, when a blizzard blocked him on the forest near Kyuden Kitsune. When he thought he would die he he realized waht he have done to his brother and why he was jealous of him. But Eiji didn't die. A young woman, that revealed to be a kitsune, called Snowflake, saved him. He felt in love of the fox spirit, and t thank her to have saved him, he promised to marry her and to show her Rokugan.

Snowflake followed him because she saw the brave man that he became after this episode, and she became Soshi Kiyo

The Shadowed Tower
Soshi Kiyo became ill some months after the marriage. Eiji tried the best medicinals in Rokugan, but they didn't work. He promised Kiyo that shugenja magic would touched her, and he received the visit of some magicians practising ashalan magic, that was not elemental magic. He became a Shadowed Tower pawn to save his wife.

Death of Eiji
When the Scorpion Clan daimyos cleaned the Clan of the Shadowed Tower traitors, they caught Eiji, that ask Kiyo to live for him. When Eiji told to Shosuro Yudoka his reasons of entering in the Shadowed Tower, the Shosuro family daimyo realized that Eiji had become a brave man and, in the name of the Scorpion Clan Champion conceded him the right to commit sepukku to allow him to reincarnate and join in a new live his beloved wife Soshi Kiyo.
