Godo

Godo (GOH-doh; ) was a human warlord of the sanzoku bandits in the Sokenzan mountain range on the plane of Kamigawa. No one knows the ronin's first name.
==Description==
Godo was a huge man, broad and powerful, but he seemed even larger and more formidable mounted atop his burly mountain yak. His huge bald head steamed in the cold, and his thin top-knot twisted in the breeze behind him. Three long spears sprouted from the back of his saddle, and a huge, spiked log on a chain thudded against the yak's thick fur. Some said that Godo didn't fight with the log but instead hurled it at his enemies as a weapon for them to use. Those that weren't crushed by it exhausted themselves trying to lift it. The truth was, Godo could swing the heavy log like a stone in a sling with enough force to kill both horse and rider in one blow. He was over forty years old and had led raids on the daimyo's kingdom for over half his life. He was a member of the oldest mountain tribe, and his parents and grandparents had fought to keep Konda from turning the Sokenzan into another subjugated province.
==History==
Godo controlled a territory of the mountains towards the south. His territory shared northern borders with Akki-controlled territory,Outlaw: Champions of Kamigawa, Chapter 3 and with Towabara. Several natural rock formations broke up his border with Towabara.Heretic: Betrayers of Kamigawa, Chapter 9 In this area they had a stone building known as the Hall of the Bandit Lord.
Godo's great-grandfather was a scout who used Pipe, the Skyfire Kirin, as a magical sword to take control of his bandit tribe.Alex Smith, The Meeting (archived). Beginning with his grandparents, Godo's tribe would fight to keep Daimyo Konda's forces out of the Sokenzan Mountains for three generations. When his parents perished in the Ganzan Pass, Godo was left in the mountains alone.(2004). Champions of Kamigawa Player's Guide. Wizards of the Coast. He grew up into a mountain of a man and united the scattered Sanzoku gangs under his leadership. He used a mountain yak as his mount. His weapon of choice was a "Tenza" (TEN-zah), a great wooden log on chains, studded by long nails.
More than forty years old, Godo had waged a guerilla war against Konda for almost ten years.Scott McGough. (2004.) Outlaw: Champions of Kamigawa, Wizards of the Coast. ISBN-13 0-7869-3140-X. Godo sent two of his lieutenants, the brothers Yamazaki, to Hidetsugu to ask about the chances of their military campaign against Konda. Later, Godo was visited by Hidetsugu, who gave him a tile with the imprisoned Yuki-onna and advised him to use her against Konda's men. Godo did as the ogre said, but the Yuki-onna's power was too great, and she started to prey upon his men. In the end, Godo faced the Yuki-onna himself. Mere moments before she would kill him, the Yuki-onna was pulled back to her original reign by Toshiro Umezawa's doing.
