Shiba "Fox Eyes" Ryota
An Emerald Marshall of legendary reputation. Talks slowly and clearly. Angular features, white smile, and piercing green eyes. He is in his 50’s and smokes a pipe. Wears fine clothes and takes immaculate care of his equipment, especially his custom made ghost-steel katana ("Avarice"), repeating rifle ("Apathy"), and armor ("Arrogance"). He is out for gold and will betray and kill anyone who tries to stop him. He wants to buy his own fiefdom.
Was killed by Kakita Jihi shortly before the battle of Heiwa Toshi. However, he came back from the dead. He is now bound to the service of otherworldly entities known as the Reckoners. He serves them as an avatar of famine.
He seeks the return of his treasured artifact, the Anvil of Despair, AKA Ryuden's Anvil.
He stole Toku Kazehime's katana and sixgun before being caught in a ghost rock explosion and having a mountain dropped on him.
It is known that Ryota was once stationed at Prosperity, and may have had a hand in its destruction. He is believed to have killed an unknown Isawa Inquisitor and may have ties to a woman known only as "The Clock-Maker."
He had a long-standing business relationship with Soshi Bairei, which lasted even when war broke our between the Union and Confederacy. The two are known to have colluded while stationed at Heiwa Toshi.
Ryota is also a known former associated of Akodo O-Shoen while the two were at Prosperity. Their relationship since soured for unknown reasons, and Akodo O-Shoen went on to pursue a life of banditry as part of Red Company, while Ryota rose to prominence as an Emerald Magistrate.
