People

Ide was the foremost diplomat of the Ki-Rin Clan during the dawn of the Empire. He founded the family that shares his name.

[edit] Family

Ide was married to Otaku, who died on the Day of Thunder in 42. Together they had a daughter, Otaku Shiko, who became Shinjo's right hand following her mother's death on the Day of Thunder.^[1] They also had a son, Ide Gokun, who was more martially inclined than their other children save Shiko. Ide disapproved and Gokun, in an attempt to prove himself to his father and avenge his mother, joined an assault led against the Shadowlands. Shortly before the Ki-Rin's Exodus in 45, news arrived to Ide of his son's death.^[2]

[edit] Yobanjin

Ide and his student Shinjo Bairezu were sent on a mission to find the Yobanjin and offer them the protection of the Ki-Rin Clan by Shinjo. the two were ambushed by yobanjin archers, and their horses were killed. Ide was knocked unconcious by the leader of the archers, Harito, and Bairezu was shot in the leg. The Yobanjin chieftain Battul arrived, and asked Bairezu to tell him their message. Bairezu explained the emergance of Fu Leng, and the war to the south. Battul was not concerned however, and told Bairezu to return to his master and tell her never to send people seeking them again. Battul offered Bairezu a place among the Yobanjin when the Kami lost their war with Fu Leng.^[3]

"Then the Fortunes will punish them for their arrogance." -Ide [3]
