Li Sak To (b. ???? - d. ????) was the commanding officer of the Second Sword of Light during its involvement in the Black Dragon Society's coup attempt on Luthien in 3067.[1]

History

In 3058, he was a Chu-sa in command of the third battalion of the Second Sword[2], and by 3067 he had been promoted to Tai-sa and gained command of the whole Second Sword.[3]

Apparently involved in the Black Dragon-initiated Combine-Ghost Bear War, To grew increasingly frustrated with the perceived lack of honor and support he felt the DCMS showed the Second Sword of Light during that conflict. In the intervening years, he allowed the Society to influence the unit's members. In December of 3067, under the Society's orders, he initiated a coup of the Imperial government.[1]

The Second Sword captured the Voice of the Dragon's Luthien compound in the final week of December 3067 and the Imperial Palace on New Year's Day 3068.[4] When To attempted to execute several captured members of the Otomo, he faced open rebellion from one of his officers, Chu-i Takiro Hutchinson; Hutchinson blocked To by moving his Katana 'Mech in front of To's Akuma and forcing To into a savage duel. The duel distracted the 2nd Sword long enough to allow the Otomo to sound the alarm, alerting the 1st Genyosha of the attempted coup.[5]

While it is not known if he survived the years of battle on Luthien, the surviving members of the unit surrendered and were all executed (without trial) in early 3075.[1]
