== Ronin ==
Mahatsu never knew his parents, an infant who was given as an orphan to a temple of the Brotherhood of Shinsei in Unicorn lands. He left the monastery when he was fifteen years old, eager to find hiw own way. Mahatsu escaped after he ahd been taken into custody by a local magistrate accused of use his gifts to spy on favor of a Scorpion bushi. His trusting nature lead him to be enlisted by two bandit gangs, a maho-tsukai, and a member of the Kolat (which he was unaware of). Second City - The City, pp. 40-41
=== Iuchi Training ===
When Mahatsu was 24 he became the student and assitant of a wandering priest, Iuchi Taru. They were companions and friends for twenty years, until Taru passed on. Mahatsu was required by Iuchi Shugenja as their retainer in a journey to the Colonies, where they would study gaijin nemuranai and strange magical practices. During his time in the Second City Mahatsu displayed a great understanding in such a task, which could probably be linked to his ancestry. Second City - The City, p. 41
