Due to the fact that he was originated from a minor race known as Mariotens, his family was despised by the local peoples. Despite being rejected and poor, he wished to become change these ever since he was still a kid. He shared his dreams and vision along with his six loyal friends. He knew that in order to have a change, rank was needed. Thus, he trained as hard as possible in order to become a Jōnin. His first step towards this path was achieving Jōnin rank merely at the age of thirteen with his extraordinary skills in puppet and mastery in Dark Release.

The elders and councils of the country felt threatened by their power and decided to launch ethnic cleansing on the minor race of Dōke to prevent this to happen. In the fateful night, all the shinobi consisted of the major race of Mugakure ambushed the Mariotens. In a single night, all the Mariotens were brutally killed in the genocide, including the "Marionette Wizards". Dōke was ambushed and killed by thousand shinobi in a restaurant.
