Keno Matsushiro

Lord Kenjiro "Keno" Matsushiro was a vampire daimyo of the Shogunate. Keno ruled Oshu province from the ancestral seat of his family, Shinsei Castle.
Seen by his subjects as a soft-tempered ruler, many rebelled with the intention of pushing Lord Matsushiro into joining the rampant factionalism festering within the Shogunate. Keno never yielded to these traitors.
On August of 334 6E, Keno was murdered by a group of mysterious assassins. The assassins escaped into broad daylight, with Keno's most loyal retainers in hot pursuit.
==Description==
=== Appearance ===
Keno was a shadow elf resembling a man in his late thirties, but, as a superior vampire, he was hundreds of years old. He had shoulder-length white hair and lilac colored eyes. He had a lean but strong build. He was often seen in plain, unadorned clothing, and never without his wakizashi.
=== Personality ===
Lord Matsushiro had an elegant and polite personality, bearing himself at all times with the utmost dignity and poise. However, in the heat of battle, he was remarkably more turbulent.
==Biography==
=== Background ===
Keno was a trueborn vampire, born to Isshin and Iwaki Matsushiro.
=== Rule as Daimyo ===
In 254 6E, Keno married Nikumi Nanba, a trueborn vampire of the ruined Nanba clan. The controversial marriage, though, became accepted by the people when it produced its first and only child 67 years later, the young Nikumi Matsushiro.
In 277 6E, Lord Matsushiro traveled to Ido to attend the ceremony of the Crimson Moon. He made no secret of casting a ballot for the young Atsuhide Okashino, who was eventually elected to occupy the place vacated by his father.
In 306 6E, Keno rallied some of his retainers and traveled north to defend his distant relations, the Teshiro clan. Lord Matsushiro distinguished himself in battle. After fighting for six years, he received a third golden chrysanthemum for his service to the Shogun.
