Isao

Intro
Isao was a resident of Gonglu village and the second victim of the Gonglu disappearances.

He lived alone in a modest, one-room house in Gonglu and was not known to have any family. He sometimes played in the weekly card games at The Quiet Spite inn.

Background
Isao disappeared from his home during the night around three weeks before the party's arrival in Gonglu.

"It Is Written" (0x1)
The party broke into and investigated Isao's vacant house and found his journal - described as more like "a bulleted list of goings on". In the last entries, Isao had described Latai's disappearance as "strange" and gave the impression that he might have been looking into the matter.

"En Guarde" (0x2)
Roland voiced a suspicion that Isao had been involved with The Sunseo Syndicate due to their arrival in town shortly after his abduction. However, Taixu asserted that there was no connection between Isao and the Syndicate.

"Chat with the Cat" (0x3)
Isao's body was found in a secret basement beneath Ryme Flattil's house, where the party concluded that he had been murdered as a ritual sacrifice to Yan Turin shortly after his abduction. The party had to defeat his animated corpse in order to rescue Peng.

Latai
Isao's journal entries gave the impression that he had a crush on Latai. He blamed her father, Jun, for her disappearance, suspecting that Jun "scared her away."
