Tsuruchi Ki

Tsuruchi Ki was a bushi of the Mantis Clan. He was one of the people responsible for bringing the Orochi into the mortal realm. His exploits were mostly unknown outside the Tsuruchi lands, and after a while his status began to plummet. He was present at the Emerald Championship in 1169, and was approached by Shosuro Jimen before the tournament was even finished. Ki knew that Jimen would be the victor in the end, and immediately accepted a chance to serve with the new Emerald Champion.
