Master Cloud

Master Cloud was the leader of the Cloud Kolat sect, preserver of the knowledge of the Kolat and who distributed it to all sects. Way of the Ninja, p. 44
== Internal Debate ==
After the crippling attacks of the Lying Darkness and Shinjo's purge the kolat were disorganized, and many critical agents were isolated. The organization sought a new focus, torn between their desire to remake the Celestial Order and the more pragmatic desire to ensure the organizations existence. The Tiger, Cloud, Lotus, and Dream Masters were traditional Kolat, with Master Cloud the most vocal member of the group. The Steel, Coin, Silk, and Chrysanthemum Masters all adhered to the modern philosophy. Neither Master Jade nor Master Roc seemed interested in this ongoing debate. Way of the Ninja, p. 42 The latter philosophy was championed by Morito and it seemed to be winning out. Rokugan, p. 202
== Betrothal of Shono and Genki ==
When in 1160 Shinjo Shono and Moto Genki were betrothed to be married next year, Master Cloud and Master Dream had both detected powerful portents surrounding Shono's marriage, and informed Master Tiger, who pressed to kill Shono's bride. The Promise of Spring, by Shawn Carman The portents could be with the reincarnation of the Kami Shinjo in a future child of the couple, reincarnation that was still to be happen. Four Winds, p. 53 Lifeless, Part One, by Rich Wulf
