Put him in a duel and see how he does. I'm interesting in seeing how he fares. Contains a lorebook detailing the world of For Honor.

Kensei. Sword-saint. Master of all weapons, and of the nodachi in particular. This one is a lord on top of being a swordsmaster, ruling over a realm of tens of thousands within the greater empire of the Myre.

The Daimyo kensei is a juggernaut of battle, unyielding as he is swift, relentless as he is deadly. He is a man of heroic stature, standing a head taller than the average soldier. His body is lean, muscles honed by endless devotion to training as much as war. Calloused hands wield a no-dachi with effortless grace, scything hordes of lesser warriors and easily matching the blows of other heroes. A guardian of his people and the epitome of what it means to be a samurai. Honor. Loyalty. Devotion.

The Daimyo Kensei is clad in study armor of wood-backed lamellar, dyed black with red highlights. His helm is flared in the style of his people, and his face is obscured by a demonic mask that only shows his slightly tired eyes. He is aging, and is no longer as fast or as strong as he used to be, pushing well into his 50's. He has a wife, two sons and a daughter, all grown enough to have their own families.

His actual name is Toshinaga Azai, where Toshinaga is his first name, and Azai is his last. In his culture, his name would be written with the last name first, and therefore "Azai Toshinaga."

Daimyo Azai has dark hair and brown eyes. He is muscular but lean, belying the great strength needed to sprint in full armor and swing around a man-sized sword like a toy. He is nicknamed "The Black Devil" or "The Black Lord."

He has a cousin named Yasukane Azai, who is also a Kensei. He is known as "The Yellow Devil" or "The Banana Kensei."

His favorite drink is sake, and his favorite food is fried eel. His culture plays with the idea of peace - he is often found strolling through the gardens and the temple grounds of his castle compound, but his true home is the battlefield. It is interesting to note that he is never seen carrying the scabbard to his sword - after centuries of war, this has become the custom of warriors all around Heathmoore. Perhaps it is even symbolic, that their swords have no sheathes for peace shall never come.

In combat, he has these special attributes: his light attacks of thrusts and slashes are very fast, but his heavy attack finishers are either unblockable (and must be actively parried) or unstoppable, in that he cannot be staggered out of the attack (and so he must be parried or blocked). If he dodges to the side, he may block and attack in the same motion. He may also dash forward to block a top attack and immediately break the guard of an unsuspecting opponent.

Daimyo Kensei is strictly heterosexual.

Daimyo Kensei is a Kensei from the Ubisoft multiplayer fighting game For Honor.

Keys: Heathmoor
Heathmoor is a great land being fought over by three factions: the Knights to the West, the Vikings to the North, and the Samurai to the East. It is temperate to the West, arctic to the North, and marshy to the East. These three factions have been at war for centuries and so far there has been little hope for peace.

The capital city of the Knights as a faction is called Eitrivatnen, and their realm is known as Ashfeld. The capital city for the Vikings as a faction is called Gronstad, and their realm is known as Valkenheim. The capital city of the Samurai is called Koto and their realm is known as the Dawn Empire, though the geographical area itself is known as the Myre.

There are also the Wu Lin and Outlander factions, who roam the region but do not settle permanently. They have only recently arrived to these troubled lands.
