Greetings, and welcome.  I an Nikoho Usumaru Ishanto.  I was a Dark Ninja of the Third Saikwodo.  Saikwodo, in my native tongue, means "Assassin".  I served the Emperor faithfully for a great many years, until the events of one fateful night led me astray of the path I had followed for so long.  Herein, you will find my tale, as well as details concerning me.  But remember, a history of a man is not the soul of a man.  With that rejoinder in mind, proceed.
