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.
