Daigotsu Tenbatsu

Daigotsu Tenbatsu was a bushi of the Spider Clan. Among the Spider he was known as a paragon of Shourido and was called the Dark Prophet. He had the ability to know if someone spoke the truth to him.
== Station ==
He was a gunso of the Spider legions during the final battle of the Destroyer War in 1173. He witnessed Fu Leng's death and how the now divine Daigotsu ascended from Jigoku and slew the gaijin goddess Kali-Ma. Once the goddess was dead, he ripped his helmet away, dropped to the ground, tears flowing freely from his eyes, tore his shirt open to reveal his bare chest. "Daigotsu-sama," he sobbed. "My life for you!"
He was the first to pledge his loyalty and life to the new Master of Jigoku, Daigotsu. The remaining Spider bent their knee as one after Tenbatsu's oath. Goddesses, Part 4, by Shawn Carman

Tenbatsu was the wielder of Seiatsu as part of the arrangement between the Unicorn Clan Champion and Daigotsu Kanpeki.

He counseled his lord about the Shadow Dragon, but the discussion the creature had with Kanpeki went poorly. Among Sparrows, by Seth Mason
