Komen Kuroshiro (3.5e NPC)
Komen Kuroshiro
Sample Encounter: The ninja of the Sublime Way prefer stealth over direct confrontation, so you will not often see them when they pop out, assuming they ever do. One must be careful with ninja for, despite their frailty and armorless bodies, they are quick and can hurt you surely and suddenly. Since many sublime ninja take the same jobs as rogues and assassins, you could encounter a ninja during such a task, or they could be secretly protecting a person from the shadows.
EL 8: The elven ninja called Komen Kuroshiro was betrayed by the very clan he once devoted his life to, the Shirotatsu ninja clan. Bitter at this betrayal, but ever vigilant in his progress down the Sublime Way, the ninja continues his training on his own, using his various skills to surprise and defeat his opponents. Now a rogue ninja, Komen must train harder than ever to evade the eyes of his old clan.
