In 1164 Calixto received news from an unknown descendant in Rokugan lands, his great-grandson, Rodrigo Cornejo. Rodrigo had struggled to learn what he could about his gaijin blood. Through sporadic correspondences dispatched through the Burning Sands, he eventually made contact with Calixto. The old Cornejo sent his other great-grandson, Esteban Cornejo, to find him. Rodrigo, who had been made thrall by the Ashalan, met his end when he set off a suicide bomb in an unsuccessful attempt to kill his cousin Esteban.
