Katsura the Shrewd

Katsura keeps the helmet of a faction that no longer exists. They were once a high-ranking intelligence officer for a powerful warlord, an order built on loyalty and tactical precision. But Katsura was shrewd enough to see the cracks forming in that foundation—the whispered betrayals, the deals made in shadow. While others polished their armor, Katsura mapped the routes of retreat. When the faction finally imploded, undone by its own ambition, they were the only one who walked away. They settled in The Great Panda City, drawn to its cold, clean air and the unwavering integrity of the Panda Council. They serve no one now, but they still serve a purpose, watching the city's political currents with the weary eyes of one who knows how easily an empire can drown itself.
