Biography[edit | edit source]

An Assassin based at an outpost near the Akami Shi Waterfalls in Iga, Japan, Sanjo was among those summoned by their leader Fujibayashi Tsuyu in the 1570s to the kofun in Izumi Settsu to prevent the Shinbakufu's theft of the country's Imperial Regalia.[1] The resulting battle was a massacre, which ended in the slaughter of many Assassins and the loss of the regalia.[2]

Sanjo was heavily wounded after being shot but managed to return to the Iga outpost, where he wrote a final letter addressed to his former lover, expressing his regret at leaving them to join the Brotherhood. Not long after writing the letter, Sanjo died from his wounds. Years later, in 1582, Tsuyu's daughter Naoe found and read Sanjo's letter while she sought to learn more about the Kakushiba ikki.[1]
