Shosuro Niobu

Shosuro Niobu, the 'Little Scorpion', was a courtier of the Scorpion Clan.

Courtier
Niobu was trained at the Bayushi Courtier school, and after his gempukku was sent to escort Yogo Asami at Winter Court. A drunk Crab spoke ill of the Scorpion, and Niobue threatened he would live less at Court than at the Kaiu Wall. Niobu's own words were twisted by a courtier who arranged for the Crab to spend one year at Court while Niobu was sent to the wall.

Kaiu Wall
In less than eight months Niobu had lost several fingers, and eye alongside with few teeth. The Crab and their ancestral duty had gained his respect, who called him the 'Little Scorpion'..
