Shiba Elite Guard

The Shiba Elite Guard are even among their own considered no more than glorified yojimbo. Even so they have a warrior tradition as strong as any other. Although specializing in preserving the lives of others can seem as a lower duty, they hardly feel it should be scorned. The Shiba embrace their roles as the protectors of the Isawa, and seldom allow their charge to come to harm. (Samurai p. 58)
