Otomo Niko

Please note: This article is about the courtier. For other uses of the term, please see Niko (disambiguation).
Otomo Niko was a courtier of the Imperial families. Niko represented her lord, Otomo Osamu, the nearest landholding daimyō to Reju Jikai, lord of Closed-Shell Castle. Outwardly, her presence was a mark of trust and friendship between the two daimyō, but she relaid everything she saw to Osamu, who intended to seize the castle for himself and appoint her the new steward. Otomo Nobu, Jikai's steward, was attentive to her, hoping to gain help from Osamu, unaware of the daimyō's intentions. The steward had been attempting to persuade Osamu to send troops to aid Nobu’s cause. However, while Nobu hoped Osamu would support him by sending troops, Osamu has already promised Niko the steward's position if and when he takes the castle. Sins of Regret, pp. 15, 24
