Shinjo Byungchul

Shinjo Byungchul was a bushi of the Unicorn Clan in the 12th century.

The Lair
Byungchul was hunting through the Twilight Mountains with his young son shortly after the death of his wife. They stumbled across a patrol of the supposedly extinct Boar Clan, who politely escorted them to a remote valley known as the Lair. The plateau had been cut off from the Emerald Empire since the early 6th century, and both Unicorn became unwilling guests of the Boar.

Helping the Boar
Byungchul made him immensely popular when he used his skills as hunter to help the Boar to discover new ways to survive off the bounty of the nearby forests, as well as his skills as warrior to get rid of some of the more dangerous Shadowlands creatures and bandit gangs in the area. His only problem was his son, as the boy needed to be sent to a dojo, and Byungchul did not wish him abandoning his heritage teaching in the Heichi Dojo there.
