Bayushi Hideari

Bayushi Hideari was the Scorpion Clan Champion during the rule of Hantei XX.

Great Famine
In 663 the Great Famine had caused several cities to riot, including Ryoko Owari Toshi, which the Scorpion barely kept under control. The Phoenix Clan Champion committed seppuku when he was unable to recover Toshi no Omoidoso from bandits, which was fred by the Imperial Legions. Hideari feared similar fate, so he hired Mantis mercenaries and diplomats to uncover the ringleaders of the riots. The bold movement saved the Scorpion from Imperial intervention but depleted the already weak Clan's treasury.
