Haru

Haru and his family are known throughout Long Walk. He and his ancestors are ashigaru who have served the Crab Clan for over 400 years. Haru's first duty is to tend to and protect the city of Long Walk but the city has rarely been threatened so this duty is an easy one. His second duty is to act as a runner. Once every three months he makes his round of all the Hida castles and notes any supplies he might need. Either himself or one of his sons make sure to greet any Crab Samurai that enters the village. He will show them the utmost hospitality and act as a runner and retrieve any item he may need from the village so that the samurai never has to set foot on a single bridge.
