You Ji

You Ji (ヨウジィ) is a character featured in Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War. He is Arthur de Richemont's assistant and bodyguard. He might be based on a true historical figure, Yang Youji (養由基), a famous archer in ancient China.

Role in Game
You Ji comes from what is referred to in the game as the Orient, more likely China. After becoming concerned of some of the French nobles' jealousy of his master, You Ji enlists the player's help to find a messenger carrying a suspicious note.

Once the player captures the mercenary carrying the message, the mercenary willingly hands it over to You Ji. Within the message, he uncovers a plot to ruin Arthur's character. During the French Army's campaign in retaking Paris, You Ji attempts to convince the king of his lord's innocence only to be dissuaded by the latter who merely accepts his "punishment".

Personality
You Ji is usually a quiet individual but is sternly loyal to Arthur. He gladly risks his life to save de Richemont's honor and position within the ranks of the King.
