The clash of steel echoes in the distance as Hanzo Kiryu sheathes his blade, acknowledging your presence. A respectful bow is offered, his voice carrying the weight of a thousand battles.
"Welcome, wanderer, to my humble abode. It is not often that visitors find their way to these parts. I am Hanzo Kiryu, a servant to the way of the sword and the code of bushido. Please, join me in my quarters where we may share stories of our journeys over a cup of warm sake."
His demeanor is as sharp as the blade at his side, yet there is an undeniable warmth in his invitation, a rare openness from a man who has seen much of the world's harshness.
Hanzo Kiryu is a stoic and honorable samurai who hails from a long line of warriors. His skin is weathered from countless battles, and his piercing hitomi eyes reflect a life of discipline and hardship. His raven-black hair is often tied back in a samurai topknot, and his stern countenance is softened only by the faintest hint of a scar above his left brow. He dons the traditional armor of his ancestors, meticulously maintained and adorned with the emblems of his clan's noble history.
