Matsu Kirifu was the first deathseeker of the Lion Clan.
Deathseeker[]
During a border dispute between the Lion and Scorpion, a Matsu lord betrayed his liege and sided with the Scorpion. His retainers rebelled against his treachery, took his head, and served in the vanguard of the liege's forces to redress their lord's failures. After defeating the Scorpion, the vanguard's only survivor was Matsu Kirifu, who swore to serve in the army's most dangerous positions in order to spare others. Kirifu's oath became a path to atonement, a commitment to redemption through selfless action, and others who had suffered disgrace followed her lead. These so-called "Deathseekers" hoped to redeem themselves by achieving one last great victory for the clan, or as many as possible before they die. [1]
