[Infamous might be a more apt description. But she's not going to delve too deeply into that.]

It's their job to patrol the city's streets and ensure that no rogue samurai are causing any trouble. Unfortunately, some perceive them as having gotten into that line of work for the opportunities to fight that it provides them. Whether they're really as violent as some of the rumors say is anyone's guess.

[She's sure they're more violent, actually, but perhaps they've been restraining themselves here since this isn't their home turf.]
