About Kuro Poe
Kuro Poe Portrait
Master Kuro Poe Portrait
"We Tengu absorb bad luck - caw! Stick with me and you'll go far as the crow flies!"
In the plum-wine bars of Goka, adventurers speak of a Legend. Some believe him to be one of Hei Feng's Riders of the Storm, wielding the power of the hurricane in one claw, and the ability to shout down thunderclaps.
Others believe this myth is the spawn of the Rat Mother, whose tongue corrupts the most loyal soldiers, and whose tricks can unmake an empire. He descends in shadows, and leaves gnawing fear and black insults rotting at the hearts of lords and common folk alike.
The Samurai name him talon-dance, and his quick movements have shamed and dishonoured many warriors into defeat and ritual seppuku. Young Samurai beg to join his elite dojo, to which he laughs raucously and replies: 'When the stars dim and the night sky is as black is my feathers, only then shall I teach you the way of the sword.' This day has not yet come.
The Pathfinder Society, who are better than most at discerning when rumours have been founded by a certain hopelessly self-centred Tengu duelist, name this myth Kuro Poe. They hired him recently.
