Soshi Bantaro

Soshi Bantaro was a shugenja of the Scorpion Clan.

Scorpion Coup
Bantaro was a part of the Scorpion Coup in 1123. After the arrival of the Unicorn Clan, much earlier than Bayushi Shoju had anticipated, it was Bantaro who repelled the first wave of attacks from the Otaku Battle Maidens when he used the magic in the walls of Otosan Uchi itself.

Black Scroll
Following the failure of the Coup and death of Shoju, Bantaro sought out the Black Scroll Return of the Fallen Lord. He used the scroll, in spite of Bayushi Kachiko forbidding it, in an attempt to bring Shoju back to life. He succeeded in returning Shoju, but only as an undead creature.
