Ide Haruto

Ide Haruto was the local merchant of the tiny village of Watarimono. He had long-term agreements for trading lumber and steel with the Crab Yasuki Yukinaga. After the Third Yasuki War began in 1169 Haruto was obliged to deny the Crab the promised resources, forced by the Crane Clan. He left the village due to the ensuing arrival of the Lion army during the march to Shiro Moto.
