Hojo was a drunkard ronin who lived in West Hub Village. In 1132 he gave guidance to a group of samurai in their quest of the fabled kolat. Somehow Hojo had been used by the kolat on some of their operatives, so the ronin had true knowledge about the mysterious organization. The samurai pressed him and led the group to a Kolat stronghold within the village, in the first floor of a tea house. While the samurai were stormning the building, Hojo disappeared.
