Yukimura is a traveler from a far-off land, most likely somewhere in the continent of Kara-Tur, located to the east of Faerun. He has revealed nothing of his past so far, but in Nightal of 1375 DR, his travels had brought him to the town of Mosstone in western Tethyr.
While staying at an inn called the Oakfather's Boon, Yukimura overheard the mayor, Angar "Steeleye" Axeson, charging a party of adventurers with investigating a series of disappearances that had occurred near the town recently. For reasons of his own, Yukimura volunteered to join the adventurers on this quest.
Yukimura's spear proved to be a valuable asset in the ensuing battle, during which the party fought a giant Tendriculos and a summoned tyrannosaurus, all while being harassed by a mysterious figure that looked like an extremely tall elf but may have been something else. Unfortunately, during the battle Yukimura lost an eye when the mysterious caster seized control of Tyrrox Zym's body like a puppet, and caused the centaur to attack Yukimura.
Out-of-Character Notes: Yukimura was played by Sam's cousin Justin, who may or may not reprise the role at a future date. For now Yukimura is listed as an NPC, but it is possible he will become a PC at some point.
Yukimura is based upon the character of the same name from Koei's Samurai Warriors and Warriors Orochi video game series. That character in turn is based upon the historical figure Sanada Yukimura, a famous Samurai from the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The picture above is Yukimura from one of the Koei games, and pretty much what he looks like in this game as well.
