Asako Taishi

Asako Taishi was a scholar of the Phoenix Clan.

Scholar
Taishi earned a reputation as a tenacious and creative researcher. Unbeknownst to him, Taishi's skills were not entirely natural but had been fostered by a spirit named Majingen, that had bound itself to him. It was constantly whispering to Taishi that his was a great destiny, that one day, his name would be known across the Empire.

Traveler
Taishi was expelled from his service in the Asako Libraries after unearthing a fragment of a letter written during the rule of Hantei XVI that would greatly shame the line if it ever saw the light of day. Taishi took his expulsion in stride and began to travel the Emperor's Road, gathering folklore and songs along the way.
