Suzume Sousha
Sousha has lived a simple life. He performs the job of a Sparrow courier religiously by delivering the words of Clan leaders without fail. Some say that with such responsibility, these members may hold the greatest, and possibly darkest, secrets that even a Scorpion would envy. What secrets does this sparrow carry?
Sousha is now the bearer of the Shadowlands tanto. With this item, he is suspected throughout Rokugan as a traiter. Oddly enough, many of the Shadowlands consider him a hero. So much so that Oni no Tsuburu has made Sousha his champion.
Now Sousha has witnessed a changed world where his clan dies from the wasting disease and his own soul seems at stake.
