Seppun Baka

Baka initially embraced the scholar duty with zeal, but he was dazzled by the Imperial Court and entered in the Imperial Library, allowing him to apply his bookish skills while still remaining close to the court. [1]

Chief Historian[]

Baka gained the Ear of the Emperor, and Hantei XXXVIII called him for any advice on religion or history, being part of the Hantei's inner circle of advisors. Baka was appointed the Imperial Chief Historian and few could surpass his knowledge of the Tao of Shinsei and the Prophecies of Uikku. Baka also gain a foothold with the Imperial Heir, Hantei Sotorii. [1]

After Scorpion Coup[]

After the Scorpion Coup the new Emperor Hantei XXXIX favored his wife Hantei Kachiko over Baka as advisor, which the Seppun did not seem to take well. [3]

Kisada's Ambition[]

In 1126 Baka was present in the Imperial Court when a tainted Seppun messenger told Hantei XXXIX that Hida Kisada had raised an army against the Emperor, composed by Crab warriors, oni, and minions of the Shadowlands. It was the beginning of the Clan War. [2]
