Джигуро Муса

Бальсы's bodyguard, who later became her mentor and guardian. Initially a palace spearman, an elite warrior - one of the nine who served only the ruler of Kanbala. Although he was predicted to have a successful career at court, he fled the country to save the young Balsaun, whose father - his best friend - had become embroiled in a political coup. For several years, while on the run, he fought against his former comrades-in-arms, who had been sent to pursue the fugitives. At Balsaun's persistent request, he agreed to teach her how to wield the spear.
