The Scorpion Clan

While the Lion is the Emperor’s right hand with the Crane as his left, the Scorpion became his underhand. At the expense of their own alienation, the Scorpion samurai made themselves the villains of Rokugan, becoming the secret keepers of the Emperor. You never know if a Scorpion is telling you the truth or if he is lying… because he can gave advantage with either one. In a society that values sincerity over honesty, you can never fully understand the machinations of the Scorpion. The Scorpion are known for deception, double-dealing, and loyalty… unto themselves, at least.

When Bayushi founded the Scorpion Clan, he vowed to the first Hantei that he would always act to protect the Empire from threats within. To that end, the masked Scorpion have sacrificed their honor for the honor of the Empire. They use deception, trickery, blackmail, assassination, and any other number of dishonorable behaviors all in the name of the Hantei.
