Doji Tsugiko

Doji Tsugiko was the bride of Hantei Jama, the brother of the Emperor Hantei XI. Jama woul be known later as Iuchiban, the greatest villain Rokugan ever known.

March to the Burning Sands
When Jama, now Otomo Jama after he abdicated his claim to the Imperial Throne, went to the Burning Sands in a diplomatic mission promoted by himself, Tsugiko accompanied him. The journey was a totally disaster, and only four survived the travel through the Ujik-hai dessert. Jama, Jama Suru, Asahina Yajinden and her, were found by Adisabah, a Rakshasa demon who gave them shelter.

Death
Adisabah imprisoned the four, in a prison designed that if Jama were to escape, he would die and the others would be free. Should another escape, they would live and their companions would die. Should any attack another, all would die. During their imprisonment Adisabah taught Jama much of gaijin magic. Afterwards, Jama ordered Tsugiko to kill herself, which she did willingly, and free Jama, Suru and Yajinden.
