Baiyosho Degi

Baiyosho Degi was a monk member of the Tairo in Wa around 1357 DR.

History
Baiyosho was a monk from a family that had always provided generations of faithful servitors to the shogunate. Degi assured a place as a jisha-bugyo commissioner, however Matasuuri Nagahide noticed his great intelligence and fervid devotion to the Path of Enlightenment that asked to him a series of private lectures about the Path. During those lectures Degi explained to the shogun that the Path advocated a natural hierarchy and so Nagahide had a celestial blessing to rule. Impressed the shogun granted to Baiyosho a place in the Tairo, the only non-samurai inside, and proclaimed the Path the national religion of Wa.

Personality
Degli was a fleshy and expressionless individual, a loner that disliked human contacts. He was a brilliant scholar and his loyalty to the shogun was absolute.
