Hedge Knight
(Budda with a Broadsword)

He was a noble, saw how corrupt they had become, he didn't want to end up like that, his honest heart failing, his honor tarnished. He wanted to help, but the upper crust always suspect alterior motives. They never truly believe a man's word is bond. So he walked away, taking nothing but a horse, a sword, & his grandfathers armor. He spent the next few nights in an alleyway or under a hedge, & it wasn't long before he found someone in need. He dutifully serves the people, he never comprimises, he never makes the hard choice, he forces honesty on villians, & kindness on tyrants. Sure some say his ways are naieve but he is quick, crafty, &strong he has has a will harder than adamantine. He's yet to fail. Every village he helps, every lord he advises, asks him to stay. They try to buy him, reward him, they try to give him titles & land & women, but he politely refuses all. He never takes more than a few days rations & some minor items & supplies. Someday people may change, all oaths upheld, men will be loyal, & lords just, but until then there is a single man travelling, & leading by example.
