Samurai are armored knights and/or soldiers in feudal Japan; others are Rōnin or Samurais Without Masters. Samurais become Rōnin through circumstances such as a master's death, an individual one's disgrace or the destruction of their clans; Rōnin can even resort to measures such as banditry and/or organized crime.

On the other hand, they can take advantage of honor codes and abuse them to get what they want.

They are the opposites of Ninjas.
