Blind Shugenja, the

The Blind Shugenja is Daimyo of the Iron Crane.

The Blind Shugenja, Father Crane to his people, might be the oldest living being in Gozeiki no Bano Kami Kantaro. He comes from a time before the foundation of Toshimoko and Tenzin Dojos, from a time when the Kami Temple was young and still struggling, from a time before there was a Bronze Legion.

He is an Air aspected Dragonblood of immense power, both a former Avatar and Grand Master of the Crane style. Most of his Clan wonder why he is content to rule as Iron Crane Daimyo, as he would undoubtedly be a formidable opponent in any Grand Kami Tournament. But the Blind Shugenja never once entertained the idea of being King-Kami, or if he did, he never acted on it.

His reputation is that of a stern but fair ruler, giving little praise and showing even less affection. His feelings and emotions are always contained, kept in check by a vivid intelligence and the wisdom that comes from centuries of experience.
