THEIR STORY: The Akido Clan has been prominent figures within the Sajagul society in both its fluctuating politics as much as its renowned army. Seemingly gifted by the Gods with smooth-tongues and quiet cunning, they have often been referred to as coyotes with how they conduct themselves and how enigmatic they are when out of sight. Camui inherited all such prowess that has been attributed to his bloodline, albeit not without grueling effort and training. He is heir to his Clan but recent events have threatened his claim as the next Lord due to a rather unbecoming revelation that has been whispered about within their household.

From childhood Camui was bred to be a leader. His grandfather and uncles were his tutors in all things, his father often times not present due to military duties and biological mother supposedly having died at birth and that his father had remarried quickly. However, even from the days of his youth he had the inkling that there was more to the scenario than was being told but like the cunning creature he grew to be, never questioned the explanation. Not to say that he was not curious as to what they were covering and didn’t pursue the information, well out of earshot of them of course.

If nothing else tweaked his suspicions it was the fact that his natural hair coloring was white and that the members of the household dyed it brown with obsessive diligence and made him wear a ring given to them by a mystic creature that turned his eyes from red to green.

He began learning how to wield a sword as he reached age six, had already begun immersing himself in history, etiquette and diplomacy. He was trained and molded to match their desires, a child protégée who would ascend higher than any of his house who had ever gone before and Camui was more than happy to comply, if only for his own reasons and aspirations.

He frequented the courts, mingled and made himself known to other nobles and ranking officials as he was expected to, charming them with his wiles and impressing them with his intelligence. All was going rather smoothly until he was sixteen when his step-mother gave birth to a brother. That by itself wasn’t the issue; he had actually looked forward to the idea of having a younger sibling when word of her pregnancy had spread. What made the situation disagreeable was the night he was walking the grounds and overheard the servants in the kitchen chatting away about how he was going to be ‘replaced’.

He hadn’t thought too intently on it at first but it had nagged at him to return his attentions to his family heritage and over the course of two years discovered a very disconcerting fact. He was his fathers child but the man had never ‘remarried’ he had only ever been married to the woman who looked at him with a forlorn happiness. Through questioning and intense searching he found his mother had been one of the servants of their house who his father had an affair with. He hadn’t thought there would be repercussions due to the fact that he had been unable to impregnate his wife and had been thus believed impotent. However the servant was pregnant and while he disliked the mixing of blood with a commoner he hadn’t thought he’d be able to produce another child so he took in his infant son, dismissed his mother and passed him off as though he were as pure as any in his Clan.

Which meant that if by some chance he ever lost favor with his father, his younger brother would become Lord. All his power and efforts would be wasted.

Enraged at the thought and paranoid by the possibilities, Camui immediate began to devise plans to hold his status in the Clan. He had already joined the military and thanks to his father’s recommendations and blatant nepotism, had joined his sire’s platoon. It took him five years to snag lieutenant and during the battle between the Yanwo and Sajagul, betrayed his father and withheld his troops so that he was slain by their enemies. He achieved general afterward and feigned sadness at his service but there was still the matter of keeping other influential parties of the Clan into keeping him as heir. It was that or kill his brother which seemed the easier route but too obvious for him to employ.

ABILITIES: Spirit Affintiy - The sword that Camui never draws is a relic supposedly stolen from the God of lightning himself. Allegedly, one of the God’s familiars had been slain by a Godslayer who possessed the sword for a short time before being killed themselves. The relic was shuffled between many hands before being gifted to him by his grandfather. The blade is imbued with the god’s power of lightning and a strike will not only slice but generate a paralyzing electrical current in the victim. However, as it was meant for a god, the blade is deadly to mortals, difficult but manageable for those with the affinity. It significantly drains the stamina and tests the endurance of its wielder when active. Overuse has the potential to cause death.

WEAPONRY: Camui bears two swords at his waist, allegedly because he practices a duel-wielding style of fighting. However, no one has ever seen him draw the blade with the gold sash around its hilt and has only been known to fight with one at any given time. He also carries a concealed dagger hidden in a sheath in his left arm-guard.
