A sage who lives near Nine Terraces, he revealed at the Whispered Ball that the Son of the Moon was courting the Daughter of the Sun, but to no avail.
After revealing secrets he perhaps shouldn't have, he was cursed by Lady Inoue Sakura to have his prophetic dreams Always On, which has been driving him crazy. He has been deadening himself to these dreams with opium, but that's only partially helping.
To see with sight beyond mortal sight is to see that which others might wish to stay hidden. To learn a secret is what all desire; to boast of a secret learned draws wrath.
