Lore

"Your very existence brings dishonor to every true shinobi who has ever lived."

A Hyur but shy of thirty summers with a fondness for traditional Hingan poetry, Hanzo was born to the Kagekakushi, an ancient ninja clan that achieved great renown for their exploits during the Age of Blood. Having displayed precocious talent in ninjutsu from his earliest years, he was named Hanzo the Twelfth—assuming the traditional moniker passed down among the leaders of his clan—despite his young age. Seeking to exact revenge on the line of the warlord who razed his ancestral village, he devised a plan to retrieve two scrolls housing a forbidden mudra—scrolls that were carried away to Doma long ago by the deserter Sasuke. He nearly succeeded in his dastardly scheme, but in the end was outwitted by his quondam accomplice Karasu—a descendant of Sasuke—and an adventurer comrade, and died in dishonor on the battlefield.

The Forbidden Mudra of Summoning

A mudra of unspeakable power fashioned by Hanzo the First of the Kagekakushi clan, it was entrusted to the young Sasuke, Master Hanzo’s foremost apprentice, with orders to use it to liberate the Doman people. After it served this end, the knowledge was deemed too dangerous, and the scroll was split in two and sealed away far from the eyes of men.
