Bayushi Korechika

Bayushi Korechika was the leader of the Bayushi cartel at Ryoko Owari Toshi, the secondbiggest smuggler of opium in Rokugan.

Family
Korechika married Bayushi Saisho, a woman he loved, and the couple had a cheerful daughter, Bayushi Omoto, and later a son, Bayushi Otado.

Omoto's death
In 1114, when Omoto was thirteen it was clear she had less intelligence than her nine-year-old brother. Many shugenja were consulted, including the Phoenix Asako Kinto, but no one could aid his daughter. Korechika did not overcome it, and plotted to clean the family's stain. His daughter supposedly became ill and died, but she was instead alive and hidden in the Bayushi state. Another story was also spreaded, involving an enamorated servant who kidnapped and tried forced Omoto, which would lead eventually in her death.

Cartel leader
In 1118 the Scorpion Clan Champion Bayushi Shoju appointed Korechika as leader of the cartel. He expanded the organization and recruited "Horse", a former vassal of the Unicorn, who created the cartel's land distribution network. He worked to put the Mantis territory under the cartel influence, and tried to get the Soshi cartel against the Shosuro cartel.
