* Apparently, she was close to starving when she was given to the one who turned her into a Cainite

* Gather enough white Jade to create a small blade or a mask and bring this to Sees the End

### Progress

* Realizing that Firestarter knows a gift to peek into the Yin Realm, Okoye Sango chose to persuade her to teach it to him to allow him to complete his quest more efficiently. Since he is a Bastet however, she asked a price for her tutelage.

### Character theme

Funny, but angry

This dark skinned street child from Brazil ended up in Bombay thanks to the efforts of his uncle after his first change. At first, being part of the Sept of the Pure Winds seemed great, until it fell thanks to the machinations of an ancient vampire, forcing Afficaio and his pack to flee.

Still, his upbeat attitude helped the pack a lot of the time, keeping their spirits up. Sadly, a life he took during his first change would end up proving his undoing. Stalked by a vengeful Balam all around the globe, he would meet his end atop the Karma Drum during the climactic battle for the soul of Bombay.

His spirit would linger there and was finally reunited with the members of the Sept of the Broken Isles thanks to the efforts of the Coven of the Chained Eyes.

A merry cache

While trying to find some terrorists, Twitter stumbled across a large cache of stolen items. Later, she told some of the School Sentai about it and they checked this place.

Through the window, they saw a stash of stolen items ranging from jewelry and watches over wallets and keys to underwear and eventually even weapons, both melee and ranged.

### Progress

* According to Twitter she overheard someone named Honda searching for his daisho which he could track to this building but not further.
* Since this seemed like another Hengeyokai's hiding spot, the School Sentai left the place in peace at the behest of Falling Star
* Hina Yui was unable to enter through one of the few full air conditioning units in the city, as any spider sent in was simply lost
* Looking at the den in the Mirror Lands, a faint trace of water surrounding it could be seen.
	+ Upon closer inspection, this turned out to be surrounded by a strange blend of magic

### Presumptions and conjectures

* there was no silver jewelry in the flat, leading to the assumption a Shapeshifter was using it
	+ This turned out to be true, as it was the Den Realm of Loxley

### Outcome

After being asked point blank about it, Loxley revealed the cache to being his and even passed three sets of daisho along to Okoye Sango.

Abe Nobuo

At first glance, most people would not suspect this young man of being a Yakuza, much less one of the main players of the Abe Family.

At the conclusion of Shattered Trust, when the Avalanche Sentai, Mitarashi Yumi and Agrinya Yejide tried to perform the Gathering for the Departed rite for the fallen Tetsuro Sakura, Kanate Tsuyoshi and Nagahara Ichiro, they noticed that the rite worked, but the souls were unreachable.

	+ Partially increasing her interest in the past of the Five Jolly Thieves Sentai and showing her that the modern times need to be remembered for those who will come after.
