Kagemusha (Spymaster) (yokai only)
The Stronghold Territory uses spies / shinobi on a very regular basis. They have an impressive spy network throughout the continent.
The spymaster is as it sounds. They're a master in gleaning information and have a large network of spies who are planted all over the continent, but mostly concentrated in areas of great interest (such as enemy territory, and the Kaminaga territory where Enrai's son is training).
Tasks
Gathers intel (i.e. surveillance, espionage, and so on)
Assesses and analysis the danger/risks involved in operations
Reports their findings to Enrai
Advises in communication/information strategy (i.e. how to distribute the information they gather, such as hold onto it themselves, give it to the highest bidder, and so on) as well as infiltration strategies
also advises in managing crises relating to intelligence/operational failures
Basically in charge of their shinobi/ninja network as well as anyone else who falls under this category. However, they report to Enrai. They can't make big decisions without consulting Enrai first, or without getting Enrai's consent/command. Also, being the one Enrai, Enrai is above them in their own field when it comes to the chain of command and can/will take charge of their spy network directly whenever he sees fit (which hopefully is not often at all, because why havea spymaster at all at that point)
Karo (Sr. Advisor) (Yokai)
The senior advisor helps with daily governance, foreign affairs, and helps negotiate/communicate with other lords. They are the among oldest of the lot and have a lot of experience under their belt. They are also like a close family friend to Enrai and his family. They specialise resource managment.
Tasks
Advises on all manner of issues from political strategy to economic polices, and even militaristic operations though that's En's specialty.

RETAINERS TO THE DAIMYO
An Older Gentleman (yokai, species open)
This retainer is considerably older than Enrai (though he doesn't know it). A turbulent sort, he very much worries about appearances: like what will people think if they find their anti-human/yokai co-existence daimyo consorting with the humans? In private, he may voice this worries in the form of questions, but in public he is the picture perfect of obedience and would never say or do anything that might reflect poorly on his daimyo.
He, too, is anti-human/yokai existence. In fact, he doesn't like humans at all. Since coming to the human realm, he's seen nothing but slaughter on their end. He thinks the humans are a cruel sort that wish to exterminate anything different from them. He laments every time Enrai is friendly with a human.
He does NOT know about Enrai's excursions out into public on his own in a human incognito glamour. He just knows that Enrai vanishes sometimes, and it stresses him out lol.
He'd be a fun sort if you'd like to play a turbulent, potentially neurotic worrywort.
He was/is probably a shinobi or samurai or something like that

OTHER NOTABLE PEOPLE WITHIN THE STRONGHOLD
3rd Northern Territory's Puppet Daimyo ?
Enrai enlisted a Tanuki Youkai to shapeshift into the former 3rd Northern Territory's daimyo - the very daimyo Enrai slayed.
This Tanuki is acting as a puppet daimyou. The actual daimyou is Enrai.
The admin wants people to submit a ticket to her about this role.
General
Samurai The warrior class and the bulk of the militaristic power
Kenshi Samurai who act as regional inspectors and maintains order within territory - basically police
Shinobi Another warrior class, and the bulk of their spy network
Monzeki Monks/Priests who mediate the daimyo and the matters of religious/spiritual stuff of the territory
Jige lower officials who handle administrative tasks like tax collection, record keeping, etc
Machinushi Leaders of towns or villages
Common Folk
Farmers
Smiths
Fishers
Merchants
Millers
Scholars
Gleaners
Priests and monks
Artists
If you can think of it, the stronghold probably needs it, just know that red light district stuff is illegal in the stronghold territory
