Doji Ueshiba

Doji Ueshiba was an Emerald Magistrate of the Crane Clan.

Training
Ueshiba was a tall rail-thin man with sharp features, known for his unwillingness to lie for any reason. He was a direct descendant of Lady Doji herself. During his training at the Kakita Dueling Academy Ueshiba earned the nickname “The Kenku” and wore it as a badge of pride.

Lost Love
Ueshiba fell in love with Soshi Moriheiko, and Ueshiba managed to be trained with the Doji Magistrates, to travel the same road as his newfound love. Five nights after his wedding day, Ueshiba witnessed what he believed was his own wife, sneaking through the castle, entering his daimyo's chambers, who would be found murdered. A few days later his testimony in open court condemned Moriheiko to death. Since that day he always carried a small mask of red cloth tucked into his obi.

Emerald Magistrate
In the years since, Ueshiba eventually won an appointment as an Emerald Magistrate. Tormented, he indulged with opium, an addiction he was introduced while overseeing an investigation at Kyuden Isawa. His superiors wanted him out of the way, and Ueshiba was sent to the Eternal Danger Islands. He has settled into Miya Onako's court as a willing puppet.
