Chu (I)

Chu was a carpenter and a Bloodspeaker.

Bloodspeaker Cell
Chu was part of a Bloodspeaker cell led by the monk Asai, and based in the Yasurugi Monastery. On the same night, they kidnapped Shidou, the headman of the nearby village of Aian, with his wife and daughter. Miya Kuboti, Nigai the laborer, Yuri from the sake works, and Bondo the doshin, were the other cultists involved in the attack.

Exposed
The most powerful maho-tsukai in the cult, an old woman named Chio, seized control of the cell. She stole from Asai the obsidian amulet, embarking the cultists on a parade of blood sacrifices, intended to enhance the power of the amulet. The crimes eventually escalated and began to affect the samurai of the sample cluster of ten small villages located near the monastery. A group of samurai sent by the Governor Miya Ansho discovered and destroyed the cultists.
