Bayushi Shixiang

Bayushi Shixiang was much like the rest of his clan a contradiction. As an assassin he cared little for the tenets of Bushido and the ways of a samurai, but he would still carry the daisho of his Unicorn grandfather and respect them above anything else. His duty to his clan is to insinuate himself beside other warriors and kill them when they do not expect it, although he would much rather prefer to match their steel in a n open and fair fight. Shixiang is however a very likable and affable person, which makes his Scorpion lords pick him for the tasks he performs. He executes his duty without complaints or hesitation of course, and his superiors insist that his feelings will go away after years of performing this work. Shixiang was however not so certain.
