Zuiko Buhen

Zuiko Buhen is a historical character from Final Fantasy XIV. He was the leader of the Buhen clan six hundred years ago and is considered a beloved hero of Shishu. Zuiko is said to be the greatest warlord Hingashi had ever seen and revered founder of Suenokuni.
==History==
Under Zuiko's command, the meager forces of the Buhen managed to beat back the far larger invading armies of the Mitsurugi. Zuiko's feats impressed Kanzan Mitsurugi that he changed tactics and instead secured the Buhen clan's fealty by allowing them to retain control of their lands, as well as significant autonomy in managing their affairs. In this way, the Mitsurugi clan converted a bitter rival into a stalwart warden that would defend Hingashi's western front from foreign invaders for centuries to come.
Zuiko became the revered founder of Suenokuni, which occupies the southern region of Shishu, encompassing the land where Kugane would be built in the future. After leading a rich, storied life, Zuiko was laid to rest at the age of eighty-three.
==Characteristics==
Zuiko is a Far Eastern Hyur portrayed with his famous blade, Tsunakiri, and riding his horse, Hizatsuki Kurige. A statue of Zuiko can be found located just outside the Shiokaze Hostelry in Kugane.
