Hateru family

The Hateru family was a vassal family of the Ide.
== Founding ==
Ide Hateru was the founder of the Hateru vassal family. He was a sworn servant of Ide. Way of the Ninja, p. 7 Some sources claimed the Hateru became ronin instead to remain a vassal family of the Unicorn. Book of Void, p. 182
== Moving to Dragon Lands ==
When the Lion claimed the Ki-Rin lands from the remnants of that clan, the Hateru migrated north to the outskirts of the Dragon holdings. Their small size and unassuming nature made it easier for them to masquerade as Dragon samurai. The Hateru had lost all faith in honor and the Emperor, so they began a darkened path, developing skills as spies and assassins, offering their services to those willing to hire them. They used a small tattoo of a Ki-Rin to identify each other. Book of Void, p. 41
== Spies ==
The Hateru successfully infiltrated the Kitsuki family, as they had been involved with the Kitsuki Investigator school since the days of Agasha Kitsuki himself. The Hateru used his family to gather intelligence from across Rokugan.
