For generations, his family had made their coin by selling their skills in assassination and espionage to those who commanded their loyalty or possessed the coin to buy it. But when one of their patrons put a mark on a close friend of his, Kasasagi risked the wrath of his family to help the man escape. However, switching loyalties came at a price. Fearing pursuit for this betrayal and confident that the Kiba would try to drag the man's whereabouts out of him, Kasasagi boarded a ship and paid the captain handsomely to ferry him as far away as they were traveling.<br><br>A few weeks into their journey, the merchant vessel came under attack by pirates. The captain of the pirate crew not only recognized Kasasagi from pervious interactions with his family, but threatened to turn him over to them unless he agreed to put his blade to use as part of the pirate crew. The threat that was compounded after the man forcibly uncovered the secret Kasasagi was hiding and used it to further strengthen his control. In order to protect the man to whom he had sworn his loyalty, in defiance of his own family's will, Kasasagi reluctantly agreed to the captain's demands and found himself forced to serve unwillingly under a man who was both vindictive and cruel - not only toward those he preyed up, but to those who crewed with him as well.<br><br>When the crew of the ship finally mutinied against him, Kasasagi was there with the ringleaders. It was his suggestion to leave the captain, bloodied but not yet dead, on an island where they walled him up inside a cave with only a bottle of poison-tainted water. If he chose to take it to escape the much slower fate of starving alone, the poison would promise the man a most agonizing death.</font></div><br> |

Not wishing to cross paths with them lest they still hold a grudge for his betrayal, he rejoined the pirates and with them sailed west after the refugees. It seemed the wisest course of action given the destruction and, though he had no desire to remain a pirate for the rest of his days, if his sister had gone west with the others, he was keen to find her.

Though there may be ulterior motives behind this scheme, Kasasagi does not share them with the majority of the organization, simply content for now to build up his connections and operate the network for the profit and prosperity of its members alone.</font></div> |

Details
General Information Kasasagi is a Doman Raen, born and raised in the city state itself, with a background in assassination, theft and piracy. Kasasagi has spent much of the last five years living as a pirate, divorced from his family after he betrayed them to help a close friend escape when the man became a target for their assassins. Now living in Eorzea, he has been putting together a small network of assassins and thieves known as the House of the Four Winds. Modeled on the similar such network in which he was raised, the Four Winds takes on contracts of a criminal kind for well paying benefactors who need someone who can clean up their problems without getting their hands dirty themselves.
Publicly, Kasasagi owns a small bar called the Waltzing Weasel (The Goblet, Ward 2, Apartment #67) which serves as both an open-to-the-public tavern, albeit a small one, and a private meeting spot for the members of the Four Winds. Appearance
