Ronins
Masterless Samurais.Luckily they are disbanded from the real Samurais.So they join the Assassins Order.They are the tough in some situations when being on your party.They are somehow the "Communist" of the game in politics because they did not know who to join at first.But then the Assassins are their choice.
