Daidoji Hondo

Daidoji Hondo was an Iron Warrior of the Crane Clan.

Station
Honod arrived the Second City just past his gempukku to serve his clan in the Colonies. He soon become famous for being one of the toughest and most resilient bushi of his squadron. In a bid to strengthen inter-clan cooperation Hondo was sent to receive additional training from the Shinjo family. Hondo married with a Shinjo maiden and bore two children.

Commander
Hondo was selected as the Second City Commander, tasked with marshalling the forces of all assembled clans into a cohesive army for the city's military defense. In 1198 the ascension of the new Ivory Champion Shinjo Tselu as the personal champion and representative of the new Imperial Governor of the Colonies Otomo Suikihime had cast a shadow over his mood. Outmaneuvered by both politics and youth, just past forty years of age, Hondo was beginning to consider retirement.
