== Appearance and Demeanor ==
Local legends said that if one traveled after dark, the brutal Highwayman shall devour them. Everywhere he went, he left his mark, a path of red markings on many trees which looked like a crescent moon. The Highwayman ate the hearts of his victims. 
== Lady Yukiko ==
A shapeshifting rakshasa masqueraded as the Highwayman to sate his taste for human flesh. The creature also impersonated as Lady Yukiko in a lavish estate deep in the Shinomen. She invited two oni to be her honored guests at a final banquet before they sow discord in the rest of Rokugan. Yukiko and the oni were uncovered by a group of gaijin foreigners, rōnin, and peasants who had been hired to investigate the disappearance of an absent courier, Hidetaka Nori, and the shipment of sake he would deliver.
