Greetings, Gentles.
Please allow me to introduce myself: I am the Stout Master. It is my joy and honor to serve the Antagonistic Buddha; The Great Sage as his official scribe and chronicler. It is my duty to record the events of his life for the edification of future generations.
So... we begin, as the Great Sage teaches, at the beginning. This is, however, an enduring mystery. We know the Antagonistic Buddha was known by his given name, J_____. Beyond that, we are left mostly with what he has already sketched out for us, or delivered in drips and drabs to his closest students over the years.
We know, for instance, that he disappointed his parents by not following into the family's professional firm as an accountant or attorney.
We also know that as a youth, J_____ encountered the blind masseur. The Great Sage remains circumspect about this encounter. He says only that it was the impetus for his spiritual journey. My own investigations have -- with great difficulty -- uncovered a few additional bits of information about this masseur.
The masseur was known as a notorious gambler and ferocious swordsman. He was known by various aliases, including "Solo" and "The One." Perhaps it was this man's preternatural swordsmanship that inspired J_____ to leave his family and begin the public phase of his life.
