An African in the service of Portuguese Jesuits, Yasuke came to the attention of the powerful daimyo Oda Nobunaga when he was presented to him as a curiosity. Nobunaga took the man into his service, naming him Yasuke, and apparently conferring upon him the rank of Samurai. Yasuke would serve as Nobunaga’s loyal retainer for some years, allegedly even being present at Nobunaga’s death, whereafter he was returned to the Jesuits. While much of his life is either poorly documented or shrouded in mystery, Yasuke is a fantastic opportunity for painters to show off their abilities, and makes for a great accompaniment to any Oda Clan force on the tabletop, perhaps as part of the retinue of Nobunaga himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePromo miniature available while supplies last.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47862805266619,"sku":"BUNDLEAPP-WG-201014000+mini","price":44.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1704\/1809\/files\/209914001_Shogun_Yasukebookminiature01.png?v=1779470319","url":"https:\/\/store.401games.ca\/products\/pike-shotte-wars-of-the-samurai-sc-yasuke-promo-miniature-bundle","provider":"401 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
