== Smuggling Operation ==
Chimori operated a smuggling operation from the island Aramasu's Pride, supplying the exiled Mirumoto Gengyo with food and weapons in return for Yobanjin treasures of the Sons of The Mountain Tribe. It was exposed by Yasuki Hachi. While Chimori technically was not charged with any crime, he was assigned by Yoritomo Kumiko as a diplomat in the Sparrow lands in 1165. He was believed to have been killed in a duel by the Sparrow Daimyo's nephew, due to his involvement in the sinking of a Sparrow ship. Four Winds, p. 112 The nephew was a skilled duelist trained by Kakita Noritoshi himself.
== Enlightenment ==
Chimori awoke days after the duel, the searing pain from the wound in his chest a strange reminder that he was still alive. The ronin sensei Chiang-Tsu, who officiated over the duel, had saved him by falsely declaring him dead. Chiang-Tsu tended to Chimori's wounds for over a year, all the while teaching him of philosophy, theology and Bushido. With his wounds healed, Chimori returned to the empire a changed man.

Chimori came to Exile's Road Watchtower, a Unicorn village where many of the inhabitants had fallen in disgrace and came there to seek redemption. There he found some kind of peace for his battered soul. The War of Dark Fire, Part 3, by Shawn Carman
