Heichi Jomei was the son of the original Heichi Jomei, a bushi of the Boar Clan who after the destruction of his clan led the remants in the remote plateau known as the Lair. Jomei decided the Lair would remain as the last stronghold of the Boar Clan, to preserve its heritage and maintain eternal vigil on the mountains. Jomei forbade anyone from leaving the Lair and its existence was henceforth to be a secret to the outside world. When Jomei passed away his son took the name of Jomei, and this soon became a tradition, so that a Heichi Jomei had always been in charge of the Lair.
