General

Mahiro Shukosa is the Warder of Rafela Cindal of the Blue Ajah. He is a Kandori lord.

He has graying temples, a noble nose and dark eyes like those of a leopard. Min thinks that while he is ruggedly handsome, only a woman in love would have called him beautiful. He usually wears two swords on his back.

Mahiro has visited the courts of almost every land. He travels with a small library, so obviously loves to read. He can recite poetry, play the harp and dance like a dream. He wins or loses gambling with the same easy smile and loves to work out tavern puzzles.

(Reference: Lord of Chaos, Chapter 49)
