The Order of the Stone Crab was formed for those who followed Hida Tsuneo, Crab Clan Champion and Hantei XVI's enforcer. They embraced his willingness to commit horrors for his lord, exemplifying cruelty and horror, becoming the worst caricatures of what samurai were meant to be. After Hida Tsuneo's death, all known members were dead from seppuku or shameful public execution within a month's time.
