Four months ago, Albern's Crossing fell under threat of destruction at the hands of the Eldarhorn infection. At the end of the battle in a gamble that cost him his life, a vampire sacrificed himself to prevent the deaths of those present.

Three months ago rumors from Iria finally arrived from across the sea. There seemed to have been sort of a buzz among the samurai clan of the Saisui. One who is believed to be a ronin by some, a prodigal son by others has claimed lineage among them. He was mockingly given the title of "The Ghost of the Saisui" given there were no apparent records of his existence. Whether the man's story was believed or not, it was found odd that any would willingly choose to associate themselves with clan outcast for their duties in ensuring there aren't Necrophage outbreaks among the battle fields, especially one blessed with the wings of the Twin Birds...

Two months ago, the rumors from Iria continued. The man's identity was able to be confirmed, he was in fact of the Saisui clan. It was revealed on a routine mission to clear a battlefield that the man had already perfected the technique the clan used to dispatch large hordes of undead. While it wasn't the final nail in the coffin to prove he was who he claimed to be, it certainly convinced quite a few given he did so unprompted. Slowly but surely the man was accepted into the clan properly, ceremony and all. He always seemed to speak of distant lands quite fondly, as if he had not been living in Ko'ram his entire life.

One month ago, the final rumor seemed to make its way to the Spire. This Ghost would be traveling to the Spire to act as some sort of permanent branch of Saisui clan in the Southern Reach. When asked if this would pose any political issues he reported said that he "knows those of the government and their militia quite well" and that he "doesn't intend on not letting them know of his arrival".
