Master Sgt. Sato aka Shuta or "Shooter"
Sato was part of the newly established Ashigaru infantry company of the Imperial Army. Meaning "light of foot" the Ashigaru are equipped with the newest modern weaponry most notably the matchlock musket and specialized in the art of guerrilla tactics. Sato soon distinguished himself as the army's best marksman and guerilla fighter so it was a shock to his commanders that he abruptly retired. It is rumored he was approached by one of the Dark Lords envoys with promises of great wealth.
