- Description:
- To the public, Lord Takashi is merely a successful merchant
specializing in luxury goods and rare artifacts through Pinewind
Haven's port. In reality, he's a master information broker and one of
the most influential members of the Rogue's Guild in the region. His
extensive network spans from the lowest docks to the highest branches
of the pine city. Despite numerous attempts by the Yakuza to
infiltrate his operations or force his cooperation, Takashi maintains
strict independence, often working behind the scenes to thwart their
more egregious activities while maintaining plausible deniability. His
position as a respected patron of the arts provides both cover and
legitimacy, hosting elaborate performances and tea ceremonies in his
multi-level estate that draw the city's elite. Few know his true form
as a silver-furred Kitsune, a secret he's maintained for over a
century, using his centuries of accumulated wisdom to navigate the
delicate balance between legitimate business, guild interests, and
resistance to organized crime.
