Hongo

Hongo was a tainted monk and kensai of the Spider Clan.
== Hunting Rokugani ==
In 1171 Hongo was alongside Nagataka, seeking Rokugani prey to kill. They saw Dragon samurai who followed yobanjin. It was supposed the barbarians had been driven out of the Empire after the end of the War of Dark Fire. The Spider followed the Rokugani to learn what was happening instead of attacking them.

== Increasing the Spider ranks ==
Hongo came to a temple, used by the Spider sohei as a base. In the village nearby the locals had been taught the fighting arts, and also learned the Spider philosophy. Seppun Tashime, an Emerald Magistrate, arrived there investigating why the village had stopped its tax collection, suspecting the monks were the origin of the shifted loyalty. Hongo refused to give explanations, and before he could be caught for questioning, Tashime was struck by a maho spell from Daigotsu Shaiko and fell unconscious. She decided to spare the magistrate's life against the opinion of Hongo. Scenes from the Empire, by Brian Yoon and Shawn Carman
