Asako Taishi, Itinerant Scholar
Descrição
One of many travelers on the Emperor’s Road, Asako Taishi is a scholar without peer. Within his family, Taishi earned a reputation as a tenacious and creative researcher, one who uncovered truths that others could—or would—not. For a samurai, this talent can also be a curse. Taishi was expelled from his service in the Asako Libraries after unearthing a fragment of a letter written during the rule of Hantei XVI that would greatly shame the line if it ever saw the light of day.
Remarkably, Taishi took his expulsion in stride. He is an upbeat little man with a bounce in his step even after miles of travel. Unbeknownst to him, Taishi’s skills aren’t entirely natural but have been fostered by a spirit that has bound itself to him. It is constantly whispering to Taishi that his is a great destiny—that one day, his name will be known across the Empire.
Taishi travels the Emperor’s Road on a whim, or so he believes, gathering folklore and songs along the way. Wherever he goes, libraries are open to him, and he has a seemingly endless capacity for memorization.
