Ieyasu Tokugawa1 fan favorites
External profile
Heir to the Mikawa province. Ieyasu was held in captivity in his early life by the Oda clan, and in his formative years by the Imagawa. While overweight and clumsy, he has remarkable political and strategic insights that let him survive. While initially off-put by his feeble-minded appearance, his vassels typically grow very loyal thanks to Ieyasu's intelligence, ambition, and genuine compassion for them.
