Matsu Shajin

Lord Matsu Shajin

Lord Matsu Shajin is the current lord and ruler of the Shajin Clan from 1504, where he ushered in an age of rapid expansion by conquering neighbouring clans. A shrewd commander and an inspiring presence, Matsu inspired his people through hope and determination, unlike his forefathers who used fear, and managed to raise just enough support to combat and subdue the Krushel clan in 1511, showing how much he has grown over the years, until several clans started to rebel in favour of independence, including the Ashus Clan that he laid siege to in 1519. When he met with the Spanish who've trespassed in his lands and razed several villages, he was quick to wrongly assume they were a band of travelling nomads, so he offered them the Ashus clan's castle in exchange for them to join his army and reconquer the castle. It was only when Hernán Cortés, the leader of the Spanish, defeated a larger party of the same people did he realize they were from a different continent. He was the one who formally signed an alliance between his clan and the Spanish Empire in 1520 with the Emperor of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire himself, Charles V, and allowed Spanish merchants to trade with him and even gave them many lands to support their presence on the continent in exchange for support in fighting rival clans.
