Ronin

The Ronin Neko

Japanese law dictates that a Samurai may not seek employment from a new lord without permission from their current lord and master. Neko - once a highly respected Samurai - was forced into Ronin status after the sudden and mysterious death of his master.

With no home and means of income, Neko roamed the countryside offering his sword to those in need. Never accepting monetary payment from those he helps, he merely asked one thing of them - "When you see someone in need, remember this deed."

Legends tell of Neko's numerous deeds and the way he lived the remainder of his nine lives. He is like a ghost - with no place he can ever call home... roaming the countryside in search of those in need.
