Character Description: Monk Jigo
Jigo is a monk who is willing to do anything and use anyone in order to get what he wants. He was the one who provided Lady Eboshi with riflemen to fight the forest gods, as well as aiding Lord Assano in his assault on Irontown.
He does all these in order to obtain the head of the Forest Spirit, so that he can be rewarded with a mountain of gold from the Emperor, who wants the head in order to live forever.
