Exalted Third Edition: Ten Stones, Night Caste

So my Night Caste Ki Ken met an unfortunate and untimely end at the hands of a powerful deathknight. Character death happens and I took this as an opportunity to build a character more efficiently for EX3 rather than dealing with the stress of playing a conversion character.

So took one of Ki Ken's Followers and made him into a full character. The Storyteller gave me a secret backstory as a solar spy secretly trained by Sidereals who was "keeping an eye" on the circle for quiet some time. It has been a fun ride playing this character and recently he has received a large upgrade in power via storyline.

I am in love with this character and really enjoy playing him. Meet Ten Stones, the careful spy:
