Hounen of the venerable Zennomusuko line was born amid silken tapestries and gleaming jade, heir to a name that carried both reverence and expectation. However, the weight of his family’s fortune pressed upon him like iron shackles. When he came of age, he dropped everything to become a humble monk, and set out with only a wooden flute and a pouch of healing herbs.

He went from village to village, lifting those in need and guiding the lost. He didn't miss anything bout his home, but when his adopted brother Akira Karioka killed his father and tried to blame Hounen for it, he had to come back. He made the decision to spare Akira from a death sentence and only banished him as punishment.

After those tragic events, Hounen's wisdom and the way he had managed the situation made him extremely popular amongst the Eastern Regions, broken by the death of the Zennomusuko patriarch. In spite of his desire for discretion, Hounen was asked to lead the faction. Reluctantly, he accepted, seeking only to mend what betrayal had torn apart. Yet authority proved too heavy for someone like Hounen. After two years, he entrusted the Dojo’s care to Master Kihaku and other noble monsters, and vanished once more into the dawn’s mist.

Before he left, he spoke but one request: “Disturb me only if my brother returns.”

Now, Akira has returned, driven by vengeance and the dark currents of power. At the edge of a silent forest shrine in the prairies of the Eastern Regions, Hounen stands once more, knowing he must return even though it's the thing he desires the least.
