Moto Gaheris

Moto Gaheris was appointed by Shinjo herself to lead the Unicorn Clan after their previous Champion, Shinjo Yokatsu was exposed as a Kolat and the Shinjo family removed from power. Gaheris, disgusted with the Shinjo family commissioned the construction of a new castle to be the base of power for the Unicorn. Shiro Moto was the resulting structure. His gaijin scimitar hung in the walls of Shiro Moto.

Ujik-hai
Gaheris was descendant of the Ujik-hai, a nomad tribe of murderers who did not know the grace of the Fortunes and the protection of the kami, worshipping the Lords of the Dead, the Shi-Tien Yen-Wang.

Arrival of Shinjo
When Lady Shinjo first appeared, the dark Gods ordered the Ujik-hai to attack the Kami, but they were defeated. Those who swore to follow Shinjo got protection from the demons they once served, took a new name becaming the Moto.

Cursed by the Lords of the Death
The dark gods without their worship withered, surviving only by the power of their anger, waiting for their vengeance. They went to Toshigoku, the Realm of Eternal Slaughter, a place to die or to kill. The Moto were moving for eight centuries until they took rootin the soul of a Moto who lingered in one place for too long, Moto Tsume. The Lords took his soul, made a bargain with Fallen Kami and gave Tsume's body to him, setting a trap for the Moto.

Shiro Moto
In 1132 Gaheris built Shiro Moto, ending the nomad life of the Moto, but the dark Gods knew where to find the betrayers. Gaheris placed the future of the clan before the safety of his own soul. After the dead of the Clan Champion the Shi-Tien Yen-Wang would harveted his spirit.

War against the Dark Moto
In 1133 Gaheris led the Shinjo, Iuchi and Ide against the Dark Moto, deep in the Twilight Mountains, beneath the Akui Cliffs, in the Battle of Twilight Mountains. He defeated the lost Unicorn, bringing back the Moto family into the Clan.

Legacy of the Naga
The Naga gave Gaheris a golden pearl, known as the Legacy of the Naga, just prior to re-entering the Great Sleep. Akasha was hatched from the pearl after several years.

Last Years of Moto Gaheris
Weakened by age and illness, Gaheris was largely confined to Shiro Moto. He spent his last days in a monastery near Shiro Moto. While hunting alone he was attacked by an Ogre. Gaheris managed to kill it but was severely wounded in the fight. In the Month of the Dragon of 1159 Gaheris died in his sleep.

After Death
Gaheris went to Toshigoku to face the curse of the dark Gods. His grandson, Moto Chagatai alongside Moto Chen traveled to this realm, fought the endless armies of the dead Ujik-hai led by Moto Tsume to reach safe path to the Lords of the Dead. Chagatai killed Moto Tsume, and made a deal with the dark Gods: Unicorn would again worship the Lords of Death and they would forget their revenge. In return Gaheris would be allowed to rest in peace.

Family in the Burning Sands
In the Burning Sands Gaheris had a brother, Moto Khaidu, and a nephew, Moto Ambaghai. He was married to Moto Kara. His son had his own name Moto Gaheris and was believed to have been killed by Hida Tsuneo during the War of Spirits, but it may have been an assassination plot ordered by Yogo Kitagi.
