Voice of the Emperor
From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings
The Voice of the Emperor, although confused with the traditional role of the Imperial Miya family as the voice of the Emperor, was a new position created by Toturi III for his brother Sezaru in 1160. [citation needed]

[edit] Duty
The purpose of the Voice was to bring peace between the clans and prevent their squabbles from harming the Empire. Following the return of Iuchiban, this position was expanded to allow the Voice free reign in hunting down Bloodspeakers as well. [citation needed]
[edit] Controversies
The expansion of the duties to include hunting Bloodspeakers stepped on the toes of the Jade Magistrate. In addition to this, the fanaticism some of the Hunter brought to the position led to to the death of Agasha Daimyo Agasha Hamanari. [citation needed]
[edit] Sezaru
Following his brother's death in 1168, Sezaru grew increasingly unstable mentally. This was brought to the fore in 1169 during the Khan Moto Chagatai's assault upon the Imperial City. Sezaru appeared above the city, destroying vast amounts of it and killing several people before he was killed by his wife Isawa Angai. [citation needed]
[edit] Satsu
Following the coronation of the new Emperor in 1170 Togashi Satsu, the grandson of the Kami Togashi, was made the new Voice of the Emperor.[1]
