Origins:
 
The man now only known as the Ninja was the greatest samurai of his generation in medieval Japan. He was called death by his contemporaries. His cruelty and his taste for casual murder eventually made him a criminal. Though he killed all who tried to arrest him, he was now a Ronin.
Drifting, the killer eventually found a new master, the powerful sorcerer Master Khan. Khan convinced the samurai to turn to the “dark arts” of the ninja, and then imbued his servitor with actual mystical powers.
