Soshi Korenaga

Soshi Korenaga was a Scorpion shugenja who was tainted at some point. He took the Tea of Jade Petals on a regular basis to slow the advance of the taint, but would have recurring nightmares nonetheless. Following the discovery of the Black Scroll, Essence of Jigoku, in 1168, Korenaga was enlisted by Soshi Yukimi to research the scroll alongside Soshi Natsuo.Natsuo convinced Korenaga that the only way to truly know what the scroll was capable of was to open it. Travelling to the southern Scorpion Border, Natsuo ventured into Crab lands where he sacrificed himself by opening and using the scroll.
