Omoni

Omoni was one of the most trusted servants of Daigotsu, having grown up with the Dark Lord among the Bloodspeakers who raised him.
== Appearance ==
Omoni was a gangly figure with long, greasy hair and a somewhat predatory expression. Prelude to Darkness, Part 6: The Dark Lord, by Rich Wulf
== Daigotsu's Lieutenant ==
Like Goju Kyoden, he was a failed experiment. Bloodspeaker cultist had made a ritual using him when he was a child, attempting to bind his body and soul to an unnamed oni. The summoning failed and instead of an oni, Omoni was bound to the unquiet spirit of a goblin. In 1112 Omoni, Kyoden and Daigotsu were exiled to Jigoku, only to return after twenty years when Iuchi Shahai was leading the cultists. One Question (Rulebook story Fall of Otosan Uchi), by Rich Wulf Bloodspeakers, p. 56

Secrets of the Shadowlands, p. 9 Alongside Kokujin, they traveled to Volturnum where the Dark Lord was gathering knowledge about travel between Realms. They met the Oracle of Thunder, Tonbo Toryu, who was guarding Oblivion's Gate. Omoni intended to ask the Oracle his one question; what was his actual true nature, human or beast? Unfortunately Omoni mistakenly wasted his question, confirming if Toryu was an Oracle. 
=== City of Lost ===
When Omoni was in the City of the Lost he usually lived with the goblins in the plains around the city, instead of the Temple of the Ninth Kami. Omoni asked Daigotsu to erase the horrible memories from the dark realm and Daigotsu accepted. Though despised by Daigotsu's other lieutenants, the Dark Lord valued him for his loyalty, and Omoni considered Daigotsu a friend.
