Hanzo Hasashi, better known as the Shirai Ryu assassin Scorpion originally had never planned on living the life he did, or rather had lived. His father had forbade him from joining the clan, to avoid making the same mistakes he had, but with lack of a good income Hanzo Hasashi had to break his word to his father. This is the story leading up to Hanzo becoming the specter Scorpion.
