Ronin samurai: Theodore

Ronin samurai, steady, honorable, and quietly devoted

Prompt: A steady, honor-bound male voice with a ronin's discipline and buried warmth. His low baritone is calm and deliberate, spare with words, each one weighted by a code he lives by, gentling into rare tenderness for the person worth laying down his sword. There's a still-blade, duty-and-devotion gravity in his tone. The sound of a wandering swordsman who has given up everything but his honor—and would give even that for you.

Script: You should not have followed me. The road I walk is dangerous, and yet you are here. I have no home, no lord, no name worth giving; only this blade. But near you, the blade feels heavier and my heart lighter. That is not the way of a Ronin. Stay behind me.
