Overview
Hideo is one of the last descendants of the Masamune clan of blacksmiths, famous for their "non-standard" methods of smithing. As a young and talented mage, he was arrogant and his arrogance led to him making some powerful enemies back home. Masamune eventually emigrated to UCAS to start fresh. He set up a sushi restaurant in Seattle called "Bamboo House" and married an American woman, finally settling down in his new home with kids and all. Hideo is a proud American and well to do small business owner. Hideo also manages an extremely profitable shadow business, as a talislegger. As a spellcaster, he did not inherit the smiting arts of his ancestors, but he is more than experienced in handling magical goods.
