Since his gempukku, Maaku has devoted himself to creating the greatest repository of information in Rokugan. Unlike the perception of many other Dragons, Maaku is a skilled and easy conversationalist, which puts people off balance enough that he can gain information from his occasional personal investigations. He enjoys travelling, and does so as often as he can, to gather information, but spends most of his time organizing what information he has, and what comes in from his assistants.
His efforts gained the attention of the Emerald Champion, Doji Satsume, who sanctioned his efforts by empowering him as an Emerald Magistrate. Although he now assists organizational efforts within the offices of the Emerald Magistrates, he has no other duties usually given to one of his rank (except, of course, when he stumbles across something unseemly in the course of an investigation). He has contacts in every clan, and has the help of several Kakita Artisans (Maaku is actually aware of Cadence, but does not know how to read it, nor does he reveal his knowledge of it) in compiling his information.
Roleplaying Maaku: You're a pleasant, talkative magistrate, open to discussion of almost any topic with anyone, from the highest daimyo to the lowest eta, in search of information. Your own train of thought tends to wander during conversation, so people coming to you for information may need time before you get back on track, but your written records never ramble, and are meticulously kept.
