| - Just when the Soul Society was young and defenseless, chaos reigned supreme with many various factions vying for dominance. New Clans continued to rise and fall, each unable to meet the world's hungering expectations. But out of the ensuing chaos came a new force to be reckoned with. Out amongst the warring factions came a delegation of Noble Houses, their main goal being to restore order to their now senseless world, either by diplomacy or force. As they fought for peace, one Noble House garnered dominance over the masses with their masterful of their unorthodox yet effective weapons: Puppets. Later known as the Fusō Clan, they helped bring down the destruction and by doing so, aided in the formation of the current Soul Society. With the vision of peace finally brought to fruition, the Clan took on the roles of Administrators and Entertainers, bringing in an age of wide spread peace and prosperity never seen before. For their services, the original founder of the now respected Fusō Clan, Sai Fusō, was made the first ever 7th Division Captain as well as the leader of the newly formed Puppet Corps, training and guiding many practitioners to greatness. Under his wise leadership, the clan prospered for ages, growing in wealth and security. But eventually, a dark time would come at their doorstep and spell the doom of their people, taking the form of the mysterious death of the clan's beloved leader. Initially unsure of what to do, the Elders ceased all forms of activity, choosing to take the time to mourn their Glorious Leader. Unexpectedly, the entire Soul Society also mourned Sai's Death, well aware of his actions and service to the people. Aware that it was time to pick a new heir, the Elders searched the clan for a viable candidate, eventually settling on the direct line of Sai himself, seeing that anyone borne from their had a large potential for greatness. Trials were continually held amongst them, each battling for the chance to lead their clan. But ultimately, one stood out from the crowd and that was the talented Hiro Fusō, nephew to Sai. Much to the chagrin of his fellow clansmen, who believed that he was unfit for rule, Hiro was ultimately chosen and was immediately groomed to be the successor of Sai in all aspects, attaining the Captaincy of the 7th Division soon after. Although Hiro had the future of his clan in high regards, he had a separate agenda of his own, which was the installation of the Fusō Clan as the sole leaders of Soul Society. Hiro saw Sai's values as fruitless and foolish, well aware that if he wanted to, could easily wrest control but chose not to. But with Sai out of the way, Hiro brought his plan to the Elders, with most agreeing. Proving to be maliciously deviant and corrupting, Hiro brought his destructive ideals to the clan, swaying everyone to his side with dreams of riches and power. Anyone who disagreed, mysteriously disappeared. In time, Hiro revealed a new puppet technique, the Hitokugutsu and the Tamashī Shīru, taboo techniques which saw frequent usage during his rule, usually to escape death and supplement their security forces. As time passed, the Clan became increasingly distant with Soul Society, choosing to not show themselves in public as they used to. While this happened, a noticeable increase in murders and disappearances started to take place, leaving no traces of evidence that the Fusō Clan was behind these occurrences. But not known to many, Captain-Commander Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto had other thoughts and suspicions, choosing to take his time and observe the increasingly disturbed Hiro.
