Ide Shizimu was a charismatic emissary of the Unicorn Clan and member of the Cult of the Destroyer. Shizimu was a tall, lean merchant who had allies in every clan's lands. His network of lone merchants allowed the Cult to move a great deal of material throughout the Empire without detection, supplying the majority of funds in her Rokugani cell. In 1133 his cell was destroyed by a group of samurai acting under orders from Otomo Banu.
