The Court of the West
The court of honour and war is an Asian court, but nonetheless represented in the Divided Kingdom. They are proud and strong warriors, abiding by a strict code of honour much like the samurai codes of ancient Japan and fierce foes to cross. Their skill in battle is probably only equalled by the Summer courtiers.
Taro Kensei
Darkling
Razorhand
Played by Christoff Poel
Taro was born
in Tokyo, Japan and taken at the age of 18 in a Shinto shrine. He served his
Keeper as a Samurai warrior for many years, fighting countless bloody battles in
Arcadia before fighting his way back through the Hedge. He found his life being
stolen by a replacement, but upon seeing the happiness of his family decided to
follow the road of tribulation to enlightenment and to build a new life for
himself. His skill as a warrior, both with the tanto, wakazashi and katana as
well as firearms quickly earned him a position with the Yakuza. When the Yakuza
started to increase their presence in Europe, Taro was requested to join the
Antwerp branch of his Clan, which he did. He has been living in Belgium for
several years now, quietly watching the wars waged between supernaturals and has
only recently decided to enter the society of the Lost. He is a man of great
honour and lives for war. As a razorhand, he has the ability to transform his
fingers in dangerous tanto blades, which he wields with great skill.
