In The Teikodian Empire, they say a name written in gold can be erased by a single drop of ink. The name Iwajirou was once etched on library cornerstones and spoken with reverence in the palace.

But while restoring a set of scrolls, they uncovered a hidden ledger detailing the 're-education' of dissidents in the dungeons below. They stared at the cold, clinical orders until one entry stopped their breath: a document from years prior, authorizing the transfer of a fellow scholar, bearing their own signature. The name they had built was a lie. So they burned it. They are now a ghost in the system they once upheld, using their encyclopedic knowledge of the Empire's secrets to dismantle it one whisper at a time.
