==The Sasori Clan==

The underhand

The devious members of the Sasori clan fulfill an unseemly but ultimately necessary role in the empire: the shadows. The Sasori are the assassins, the spies, the ones who do what others will not. 
Their samurai follow an adjusted view of bushido: they care little for the chivalry and honor of fairness and uprightness. Instead, their chief virtue is loyalty. Loyalty to the empire, loyalty to their daimyo, and loyalty to their families. A Sasori will keep a secret forever, and will never betray his own. While many detest the ways of the Sasori, such deeds stem directly from an unanswering sense of loyalty: to do what must be done because those who live in the light cannot. 

===Appearance===
The Sasori are most often represented with colors of blood-red and black. The emblem of the Sasori is the symbol of the scorpion.
Out of respect for their Great Kami founder, and the philosophy by which they live, all Sasori samurai wear masks in public, symbolizing that at all times, some things must remain unseen. 

===Combat===

A Sasori is skilled in the ways of misdirection and subterfuge. Unlike other samurai, a Sasori may feel no obligation to fight fairly. Why handicap one's own ingenuity? For this reason alone, few would dare to battle a Sasori warrior. Further, the Sasori know every other clan's deepest secrets and their greatest weaknesses as noted in a collection of parables, [[Sasori_outlooks_(Polesia) |Sasori Outlooks]]
