Yojimbo (GM)

Yojimbo are dedicated body guards, appointed to protect a specific individual at any cost. While any samurai should be willing to lay down their life to protect their lord, a yojimbo is their master's last line of defense. They are also likely to serve as their proxy in duels of honour, and have the grim task of acting as their lord's second, should they need to commit seppuku, decapitating them to end their suffering. Most follow their master even into death, should they not have the chance to die in their service.
Assigned by Damiyo, Emerald Magistrates, military leaders, high-ranking courtiers, and other individuals of import can appoint yojimbo, and do so at their discretion.
