War of Spirits[]

At the war's conclusion, Isei underwent the ritual removing his spirit aura and once again became a guardsman for the Imperial family. Eventually, Toturi chose Isei to be the personal yojimbo for his youngest son Hantei Naseru.[4][2]

Winter Court at Kyuden Miya[]

After Winter Court was over, Naseru order Isei to make a cut in the left arm of every man at Court. If the blood ran black it would mean they were tainted, and Isei would have to kill them. The first cut was made to Naseru, the second to Isei, and the third to Bayushi Sunetra.[3]

City of Night[]

In 1159, Isei, alongside Shinjo Shono and Bayushi Sunetra [1] accompanied Naseru on an exploration of the City of Night in the Seikitsu Pass. When the Tsuno and Moto Vordu tried to kill Naseru and Shinjo Shono, Isei sacrificed his life to save the Naseru. When Naseru became Emperor Toturi III, he maintained a small shrine in Isei's memory within the Imperial Palace. [2]
