Lore

"It is no secret that the bakufu is a cesspool of corruption, but in spite of this we must protect the peace. Such is a samurai's calling."

This former captain of the Sekiseigumi was born on a farm not far from the capital of Bukyo. In his youth, he studied swordsmanship, and later resolved to become a samurai that he might better his lot in life. Kongo was accepted into the Sekiseigumi, and his natural skill and earnest nature saw him rise quickly through the ranks, eventually attaining the position of captain following the untimely death of his predecessor. Alas, this good-hearted samurai with a fondness for egg soufflé and rice wine was blind to the treachery of his corrupt lieutenant, Shiden, and as a result was cut down in a duel with the insurgent leader Ugetsu. So it was that Kongo the Unyielding died having seen thirty-eight summers.
