colt_steeleNate,
Since you are the only person on the planet that actually views this, I wanted to put up a bit of background on Baeru:
He was, like many of the Arishikage clan's youngsters, an orphan raised by the clan to be a stealth agent. Unlike many of the other orphans in the clan however, he was a member of the clan by his blood lineage, his mother being the sister of the current clan head. Unbeknownst to Baeru as yet, his father's discovery of the clan head's intent to aid in the resurrection of Kalroth was what led to his demise, made to look a death in the line of duty. His mother took her own life upon her discovery of this and her subsequent attempt to remove her infant child from the village. Upon her capture and her child being taken from her she poisoned herself out of shame and despair. Ironically Baeru's affinity and specialization in poisoning techniques are one of his main contributions to his assignments.
Many years later, the plots and machinations of those seeking Kalroth's return have borne fruit, and the betrayal of Baeru's Daimyo has been exposed. Though not having shown favor to Baeru as a student, the Daimyo was nonetheless his father figure and Baeru now feels honor bound to end his corrupt stewardship, or perish trying so as to die with honor.
