History[]
Early life[]
Born into poverty, Shiden was raised by farmers who labored in vain to pay their unconscionable taxes. Thinking there no recourse, they petitioned their liege lord for clemency, and for their courage they were burned alive as an example to their fellow villagers. As he watched his parents die in agony, Shiden was broken by the lunacy of the spectacle, and realized that only fundamental, violent revolution would right the scales of justice.
He trained day and night with the katana and won a place in the Sekiseigumi, and swiftly rose through the ranks in his pursuit of power. Alas, despite earning the Unryu name and securing a position of leadership, he found himself ultimately beholden to the system he so deeply abhorred. Thus was this troubled soul with the heart of a poet perfectly placed to serve Ugetsu's interests, and when approached by the insurgent leader, Shiden readily agreed to assassinate His Excellency the Tairo.[1]
