~ "A mask does not hide who you are, it shows exactly what others want you to see."
~History acknowledges the existence of these creatures, these remnants of the shadows that were usually associated with invisibility. What history can't be too certain on, however, is the time these brave men and women emerged and decided to forever alter millenniums of history in the oddest way possible - by avoiding being seen.
It all started back in the 12th Century, during the early Kamakura period. The emergence of Samurais, these brave upholders of law who were tolerated to the point where they began murdering peasants to test their blades, called for measures. People were tired with the shogunate, tired of being mistreated, tired of the hierarchy, so they addressed their frustrations at the only people who could help; the Kigihara brothers. Kazuya Kigihara, Ryosuke Kigihara and Yoshino Kigihara were the main and only representatives of the Kigihara lineage. Blessed with what are now described supernatural powers, they decided to challenge the then-current government. But even they, in spite of their might and prowess, couldn't put an end to the regime, not alone at least. So, they initiated a network, a small one at first with about fifteen participants, where they were taught combat in a daily basis. Upon learning that their powers can not be replicated, no matter the months of training, they resorted to other, more subtle methods which lead to the creation of the art we now know as 'ninjutsu'. They recognized the Samurai code of conduct, so they decided to use it against them, employing deception and treating it like their main weapon. Soon, what were only fifteen multiplied to five hundred and spread all around feudal Japan, fighting injustice and making sure no one falls prey of the regime. With the eventual death of the three brothers, their children occupied their role and after them their grandchildren, with the bearers of the Kigihara mark making a tradition out of appointing their children, who still carried some of their genes and powers, as their leaders after the Grimm Reaper knocked on their doors. But with the frequent change of leaders, the purpose of shinobi also changed. They were no longer about fighting the oppressing regime, they were more for accumulating wealth by performing missions in dangerous areas. Documented cases also show they even worked for the regime they were supposed to fight in one or two occasions. Their powers also subverted in the process, with the latest generation of the Kigihara possessing powers just above those of your average human, albeit they still are highly lethal. During the Great Depression, the Kigihara Clan, or what was left of it, had an internal war which led to many of them migrating to other more industrialized countries. Using the economic slump to conceal their shady dealings, they each began sharing the sacred Art of Ninjutsu with foreigners, setting up their own separate clans and therefore dividing the Kigihara Clan into a ring of 13 separate clans, which are now referred to as 'The Devil's Thirteen'. To this day, they refuse to cooperate with each other, unless they are rallying to protect their mutual interests. The biggest and the strongest clan of all is the "Rasetsu Clan", based in New York City, New York and which was taken under the mantle of the government during the Eisenhower administration, who deduced that the only way to fight the Vietcongs, who excelled in guerrilla tactics, was to employ the ones who INVENTED such tactics.

Hey boss, this is a basic overview, I want to flush it out a little more, but I am waiting for the firearms, since I plan for him to be better at ranged combat than melee combat. That goes hand in hand for any sort of description, since I’m curious as to what our gear will be like. Let me know what you think.
