Bayushi Daijo was young when he became the Scorpion Clan Champion. Quickly he devised a plan to ensnare the daughter of the Matsu Daimyo, to later force her to marry the Crab Clan Champion, from where she would act as a spy to the Scorpion. His most prominent advisor in longe range plots, Kazemu, advised against the plan because it was full of holes and very dangerous. The plot backfired and the Scorpion were attacked by the Lion, killing many bushi and claiming some territory.
