ronin (n): a Samurai (elite soldier) without allegiance to any Master. One who has either been exiled, or for other reasons has detached from the security, shelter and support of a Lord, and thus freely roams the land, a true Soldier of Fortune — using only his wits, wisdom, and sword to move through the world. The utter embodiment of the masculine Free Spirit.
