## Description
Introducing Mizu Kage, a special operative from the Shogunate ready for action in Tannhäuser! Officially an "international liaison," in practice she prefers to settle things with her sai blades, Willow and Winding Stream. This warrior has saved "the Daimyo" more than once and dealt with Reich soldiers who thought they could betray the alliance. Now, her mission is to obtain information that the Shogunate's allies are withholding. Mizu is a master of moving unseen, like a whisper of wind through the night, and can choose between a bloody path or a silent infiltration. She can team up with Reich forces, following the Nippon Accords, or form a squad solely with other Shogunate characters. With her sai, shuriken, and happo, she brings a touch of espionage and direct combat to your Tannhäuser game, adding another tactical layer and unique characters for those who enjoy games with varied powers and a bit of dice-rolling luck. It's an expansion that boosts the base game, bringing more options and depth for fans of the series who enjoy war themes with a touch of historical fiction.
