Covert Agent (GM)

There are countless ways in which a samurai may become an asset of someone other than their sworn lord.  Sometimes, even samurai who believed their loyalty to Bushido unshakable discover they cannot serve both their lord and their conscience. Sometimes, covert agents are embedded in enemy courts and swear false loyalty in service of their true lord. Of course, some samurai are not so high-minded in their treachery. Blackmail, bribery, revenge, jealousy, fear, and even hope for a better world can all sway human hearts from the hard path of Bushido. However, should a character become a covert agent, they now serve a secretive purpose, and must quickly develop new skills to stay one step ahead, or face disgrace and brutal demise.
Assigned by  Any individual that gives the character a task that requires them to act against the interest of their sworn lord, or falsely enter the service of another lord.
