Soshi Angai (TCG)

Soshi Angai was a shugenja member of the secretive Black Watch of the Scorpion Clan.
== A Scroll is Opened ==
In 1123 Angai was instrumental to free her Lord Bayushi Shoju from his imprisonment after he was deposed as Imperial Regent. She became the go-between Shoju and Ikoma Ujiaki, who arranged for a diversion during the escape. Angai's ritual allowed them to simply walk out of the guesthouse without incident, past Dragon guards who didn't acknowledge their presence at all. Moving to a Black Watch compound, a nondescript house in a nondescript neighborhood of the dilapidated Hojize District, Shoju inspected the artifacts retrieved from Yogo Castle, which had been recently fallen to a Shadowlands attack. Among the artifacts was a Black Scroll, The Skin of Fu Leng, which eventually was opened by Shoju. A Worthy Opponent, by D.G. Laderoute
== Death ==
Shoju violently seized control of the Forbidden City, and Shosuro Ibuki, Yogo Itoju, and Angai were appointed as guardians of the entrance to the Imperial Throne room. In the twelfth day of the Month of Togashi a group of samurai sneaked into the Forbidden City, helped by Bayushi Kachiko, Shoju's wife. The Captain of the Imperial Guard, Seppun Ishikawa, jabbed the sheathed end of his katana into Ibuki's eye, and Kachiko stabbed Angai, allowing Mirumoto Hitomi to storm the Imperial Throne room and strike Shoju down.
