Shuurai is medium height and build, but hides a subtle grace and a violent speed he uses in combat. Shuurai has grown out his hair since becoming a monk, and is able to hide amongst most crowds.

• Backstory: Living proof of the tragic nature of the gulf between Faith and War, Shiden Shuurai was once the Warrior King Bushi of a very large fortress of Swallow Clan Samurai.
  Remarkably skilled as a youth, he took his town by storm and turned it into a veritable metropolis. After several years and a few marginally successful campaigns against the nearby Snake Clan fortress, his town felt that the war was no longer worth fighting.
  Shortly thereafter, his villiage was attacked by night by a group of deadly assassins. Almost everyone was killed, and it was all Shuurai could do to save his daughter and son. Unfortunately, his wife was slain by the assassins.
  Shuurai became a hermit and left for a temple, leaving the survivors to pick up the peices. He has never forgiven himself. Now he spends his days contemplating faith and the great mysteries of Kami, thogh he is largely regaurded as one himself. His past still haunts him, often in the form of assasins. He prefers to flee than to fight them, fearing that the blood on his hands might stain others as well. However, he is sometimes forced to fight, and it is an awesome spectacle indeed.
