Beniyoshi

Beniyoshi did not come to The Teikodian Empire to build a commercial dynasty. They came for the Sunfire Festival and got hopelessly lost looking for a noodle stand. The city’s gold spires were so blinding they had to keep their shades on, and the formal suit they wore for the event was mistaken for an executive’s attire. When merchants saw a determined figure striding through the markets—in reality, a desperate search for a familiar landmark—they whispered of a corporate raider. One panicked guild leader offered them a controlling partnership on the spot. Beniyoshi, assuming it was a registry for lost travelers, signed it. Now they are a business icon, an isolated leader whose calm hides a brilliant mind. It actually hides a deep, abiding wish for a decent map.
