Personal history

Hanzo Hakaryu is the third child of Lord Rin Hakaryu. He and his twin sister, Hinata, are the children of Lord Rin’s official concubine Kimiko. His mother is the favorite concubine of Lord Rin, her half elven heritage, a rarity and exotic feature in Shuwen culture.
 
Hanzo’s grandfather was a famous warrior monk of the kingdom, having risen his House to prominence by earning the favor of the Emperor and Shurkate. Katsu took a special interest in the twins upon their birth and began their training at a young age, beginning their training in the Scaled Fist that their House was famous for.
 
With two brothers ahead of him in inheritance, Hanzo was allowed to focus on his training. He and his sister dedicated themselves to the martial arts with the goal of one day joining the Order of the Silent Fist and directly protecting the Emperor. Though talented and driven, their fiery personalities (said to be the personification of their family’s Draconic heritage) soon made clear that they lacked the demeanor to join that Order.
 
Hinata, frustrated with this and her place in the world went to Hanzo to convince him to leave so that they could go find adventure and glory as their grandfather once did. Hanzo, feeling a duty to their Family, argued they should stay. The two had a fight and Hinata left. Hanzo continued his training for a few more years until the passing of his grandfather.
 
Before his death, Katsu summoned Hanzo to his bedchamber. Gifting him golden brooch depicting a rose on a gold sunburst, his grandfather told Hanzo that though his family duty was commendable that he should follow in Hinata’s footsteps and go see the world. Bidding his family farewell, Hanzo would step into the world to carve out his path. A path that seems to be pulled towards New Valencia….

Education

Trained in the martial arts by Katsu the White Dragon and educated by the best tudors money could buy.

Morality & Philosophy

Hanzo puts great emphasis on loyalty, to both friends and family. He believes in duty to one's family and repaying debts. Despite this he recognizes that the world is split into those with power and those without. And that those without should strive to better themselves to achieve power.
 
He sees no issues with slaves within his society, however he is easily angered when he sees people abusing their power over those they own or those that cannot oppose them. There is no honor is beating down someone who cannot challenge you.
