"Bloody fools, the lot of you. Blind to the true villain in your midst.”
The thief who struck fear in the hearts of the wealthy elite was born in Doma and raised during the imperial occupation. When he was but nine, his parents were killed during a purge of insurgents, prompting him to leave his homeland behind and journey across the sea to Kugane, where he met a kindly samurai who resolved to raise him as his own. Alas, this happiness too would prove fleeting, for his adoptive father’s beloved sword, the Soboro Sukehiro, caught the eye of a disreputable merchant named Akebono, who entrapped the samurai in a web of debt that he might claim the blade for himself. The plot succeeded, and the samurai pledged his sword as collateral while he labored day and night to repay the sum...only to die from exhaustion.
Deprived once more of his only family, the Lupin youth returned to Yanxia, where he learned the arts of the shinobi and befriended a great eagle he named Montaro, and together returned to Kugane. Now twenty-three, he seeks justice for his second father and other innocents upon whom Akebono and his ilk would prey.

The Soboro Sukehiro
The finest sword ever created by one of the fourteen legendary swordsmiths of Hingashi, Sukehiro. Regarded as a masterwork of the modern tradition, it is coveted by every collector of Far Eastern swords. If one were to attempt to put a price on the blade, it would easily surpass the value of several modest clans' holdings.
