Character Info
Shiba Katsutoshi is fairly unknown outside of the Phoenix Clan. What little is known, is that he is a talented iaijutsu duelist, and is often seen in the company of high-profile Isawa shugenja. He fights for them in duels and tournaments, and usually places fairly well. He is a handsome man with an even face and one bright jade-green eye, with long black hair. The Phoenix is marred, however, by a long scar running from his right forehead, through his right eye (which is covered by a patch) and cheek, and down to his jaw. He does not talk of why, but it is fairly publicized that he once lost a duel to Bayushi Kage over a woman.

To the Phoenix, he is nothing short of a celebrity. Touted as talented from a very early age, he rose through and graduated the Shiba school precociously early. He was hailed as a prodigy and assigned duty to guard very high-value shugenja; as well as being entrusted with the protection of one of the few true phoenix eggs. After some years of prodigious service, he was granted a position guarding over Isawa's Last Wish. At the end of his term of service, he was even granted a look within it.

Some say he saw the soul of all men in the empire, others that he saw the fundamental truth of the universe. He does not speak of what he saw and learned within the Wish... but it changed him unmistakably...
