Bayushi Elite Guard

The Bayushi Elite Guard are comprimised of the most advanced students of the Bayushi style, and remain unheralded and unknown to most people. They are the ultimate combatants of the Scorpion, and their completely focused combat style is revealed only to those who are about to die. The Guard walk a thin line between samurai and honorless assassins, typically employed as yojimbo to important courtiers of the clan or as independant agents who kill in broad daylight. This does not however mean they are simple stalkers or infiltrators, and the Guard see themselves to be above of the "dirty" tasks some of their other clansmen are involved in. They kill in a way that many do not expect from a Scorpion; openly and in a somewhat fair manner. (Samurai p. 65)
