People

Agasha Sumiko was the Ruby Champion during the reign of Hantei the Thirty-Eighth.

Ruby Champion

Sumiko became friend of the Dragon ambassador at the Imperial Court, Kitsuki Yaruma, and she even trained personally the Crown Prince Hantei Sotorii. Sumiko was very vocal and forthright regarding fighting the Kolat conspiracy.

Acting Emerald Champion

In 1123 Sumiko became the acting Emerald Champion after the sudden death of Doji Satsume. During the yearly Topaz Tournament a group of contestants uncovered a plot devised by Bayushi Sugai to disrupt the tournament. Impressed by their heroism and commitment to justice, she recommended them to become Emerald Magistrates, and were sent to Shiro Yogasa for training, who were received by her personal assistant Kitsuki Kāgi. Sumiko tasked the trainees with conducting a secret investigation about Doji Satsume's death. They foiled an assassination attempt against Sumiko, performed by one of Kāgi's assistants, Kitsuki Tomo, revealed as a Kolat asssassin and the one who killed Satsume. Nevertheless, Sumiko maintained in public that Satsume had died due to natural causes, the only thing worse than the Kolat would be for its threat to become widely known.

Resigned

Sumiko resigned when she acknowledged the autorithy of Akodo Toturi, winner of the ensuing Emerald Tournament. Sumiko commissioned a second investigation into Satsume's death. His correspondence and records were again investigated. Nothing untoward was found.

Toshi Ranbo

Sumiko was concerned with the events at Toshi Ranbo, a contested city by the Lion and the Crane Clans. After several failed attempts to involve Toturi in these matters, the Emerald Champion moved to the city to investigate restless spirits Toturi's wife, Akodo Kaede claimed walk through the fields outside Toshi Ranbo, searching for something unknown. Sumiko also found that her duties sometimes intersected with the one's of the Imperial Advisor, Bayushi Kachiko.

Emperor's Death

Sumiko, acting Emerald Champion

In 1123 Yaruma and Sumiko were informed that Hantei the Thirty-Eighth had died, and Toturi was missing. Again the acting Emerald Champion, Sumiko still wore her Ruby Champion's ceremonial armor, thoug a green stone chrysanthemum amulet of rank about her neck to signify her hasty promotion. Shortly after Mirumoto Hitomi arrived to Otosan Uchi with the Army of the Rising Wave, with Yokuni's order of aiding the Prince. Resuming as acting Emerald Champion, Sumiko commanded Hitomi to bring the Army inside the city and place it as guards of the Forbidden City. Sumiko followed an Imperial Edict wrote by Toturi and sealed by the late Emperor, appointing the Scorpion Clan Champion Bayushi Shoju as Imperial Regent, and gave him command of the Army of the Rising Waves. The edict also indicated that the Prince Sotorii would abdicate his claim upon the throne, but this part was delayed at Shoju's request. Shortly after Sumiko and the Imperial Legion were spread across the Empire investigating the disappearances of Akodo Toturi and Prince Hantei Daisetsu. Kitsuki Chiari investigated the Emperor's death and reported to Sumiko, Yaruma and Hitomi that based on the exposed curse that had befallen Kunshu, the Ancestral Sword of the Hantei, the blood that has stained Shori's hilt, the ancestral sword of the Lion, and the regency's intent to keep this secret hidden, there was no explanation except that Bayushi Shoju had murdered the Emperor and taken his throne.

Joining the Brotherhood

Sumiko had learned that Kunshu had been sent to Yogo Junzo, the Yogo Daimyō, because the blade had been cursed, having drawn the blood of the Emperor. During a meeting with the Imperial Chancellor, Kakita Yoshi, Toturi knew that Bayushi Aramoro, Shoju's brother, was actullay the shinobi who tried to kill him. Shortly after, Sumiko and Toturi appeared at Imperial Court, accused Shoju to be the mastermind behind the regicide of the late Emperor, and resigned from their posts. Sumiko would join the Brotherhood of Shinsei, and Toturi would become a rōnin.
