=== Father's History ===
His father was a promising shugenja and scholar who served to teh Iuchi. He and Hasame's grandfather delved in the Clan's secrets of the the Burning Sands. They moved to the Shinjo Library, to Ikoma records, and even to Kyuden Kitsune to find the missing pieces. There he married to a local maiden, and Hasame was born. 
=== Lost Scrolls of the Unicorn ===

They knew they were doomed, reading the texts the Shadows and the Kolat would kill them as they expose the evidences. They left their clan, and never told the scroll's history. They lived as ronin in a village unclaimed by the Great Clans. 
=== Fall from Grace ===
With the destruction of the Akodo family line, Hasame lost his position within the Lion and was dismissed by the Matsu family. Hasame traveled east to the Islands of Silk and Spice. The Mantis Clan bushi with whom he worked despised him, regarding him as a fallen samurai of the Great Clans. He served as a yojimbo to a wealthy Mantis merchant for months. Only one among the Mantis would he call a friend: the bushi Arashi. Way of the Wolf, p. 70
=== Betrayal ===
Hasame awoke one day to find Arashi over him with a kama raised for the killing strike. The fight was quick but bloody. Arashi lay dead afterwards, his throat torn out by his own kama. Hasame recieved a grievous wound on his arm. He believed that his former friend had been a Kolat. 
=== Toturi's Army ===
Hasame left the islands and disembarked at Mura Sabishii Toshi, where he expected to become an Asako Inquisitor to gain ways to perceive the movements of the Kolat, but the Asako dismissed him. Hasame moved to the Dragon lands in hopes to be hired as yojimbo to a Kitsuki Investigator, to further his search for Kolat. However he found a ronin camp, members of the Toturi's Army. Unknowing if Toturi the Black was a man of honor, or a kolat as other said, Hasame decided to join him and see what Toturi truly was, to act accordingly.
