Toji (I)

Toji was the bodyguard and chief follower of Shinroku, leader of a small cell of Spider Clan maho-tsukai. They settled in the ruins of a Naga outpost in the forest near the small village of Mushi Mura. Shinroku wanted to create a hidden pocket of Tainted land that could be used as a safe haven for both creatures of the Shadowlands and worshippers of Fu Leng.

Seizing Mushi Mura
Shinroku and his followers ambushed Mushi Mura's samurai protector Takashi, who fled with several of his budoka. Toji took his place as the village's samurai protector, allowing the Bloodspeakers to pretend everything was normal. Many of the villagers were tainted by Shinroku, while hostages were taken, to be sacrificed in foul maho rituals to begin the desecration of the Naga ruins. Shinroku anticipated that more samurai would eventually come to investigate and posed as a carpenter of the village.

Group of Samurai
When a group of samurai arrived, alerted by a message sent by Takashi, Toji tried to send them away with assurances that everything was fine and the message was a false alert.
