I didn't get that at all from the trilogy (which I finished again last week,
hoping I could find some redeeming value in my previous purchase). From
what I read, it seemed that he was just the series' tough street samurai.
When you look at what you replied, even you agree that he felt like it (I
couldn't find reference to him leaving based on doubts about NAN
leadership). He did say that he felt he had a mission in the city, which is
fine, but what is it? Undefined.
Also, based on what I've read in the various supplements and novels,
Amerinds of all sorts were welcomed back into the NAN when it formed. The
only prejudice mentioned is that towards non-Amerinds who stayed in NAN
territory.
Ghost _is_ the hideous stereotype that all street samurai fight to avoid.
