Name: Soshi Kiso
Age: 27
Role: Soshi Daimyo, Ambassador to the Crab and Mantis Clans.
Lineage: Soshi Kiso is the son of 'Koi" Kiso (formerly Kiso the Ronin, and Shosuro Kiso), founder and only Daimyo of the Carp Clan. His father had barely caught a group of assassins moments before they took out Emperor Hantei the 30th (before he had succumbed to Fu Leng) and was rewarded his own minor clan, which more recently got re-absorbed into Scorpion Clan in 'Koi' Kiso's final days in Rokugan before he became a being of Yume-do, where he keeps an eye on the future of his family, though all believe him dead. He never knew who his mother truly was, but has heard rumors it was Miya Yumi, but when he tried to pursue that knowledge, the trail went dry.
Training: Kiso studied the ways of the Soshi Shugenja, as his father did. He was primarily raised by his spinster Shosuro aunts (one an actor, the other a bushi), and has a decent skill in acting, though his true talent lies in communing with the kami. Upon his gempukku he took his father's name, and carries the well worn scroll case left to him with pride, along with the 'Koi' katana, Giri no Toriwake. It was with the aid of this overflowing scroll case he was able to save a young wounded dragon, known as Kitsuki Kai. Most Scorpion would have cared little for a Dragon who was about to give his dying breath, but he took notice of the katana at the Dragon's side and knew his lineage from the tales of father's life. This Dragon must of been the son of his father's former friend and comrade in battle. Feeling guided to this event, he knew he must act quickly and save him.
Appearance and Personality: He wears a humble kimono in his daily travels, and puts on an elegant styled red and black kimono of the finest silk only when in court. Unlike the majority of his clan mates, Kiso wears no mask, and his face can be seen clearly, although his training rarely allows an emotion to be shown on it. He lets his long black hair flow free, although it is always finely kept. When seen in public, he is generally the quietest one in the room, and seems to take great care to the choice of his words and the manner of their need. He takes himself and his duties very seriously, and his humor, whenever it arises is rather dry, or filled with double meanings. The one thing people notice most however, is his honesty.
He primarily resides in Shiro no Soshi, where he rules his family and when he finds time, aids in teaching young shugenja in the art of Spellcraft. More recently, he has not set foot in his quarters, duties carrying him far and wide across Rokugan. Although he does wish to update the school when he finds time to return.
