== Trivia ==
Like many of [[Sandy Mitchell]]'s character names, this one appears to be a deliberate joke:
*[[wikipedia:Miyamoto Musashi|Miyamoto Musashi]] authored ''The Book of Five Rings'' in [[M1]], regarded as one of the most important treatises on samurai swordsmanship; Mitchell himself is a practitioner of the Japanese martial arts Aikido and Iaido;
*[[wikipedia:Cyrano de Bergerac|Cyrano de Bergerac]] is the hero of [[wikipedia:Edmond Rostand|Edmond Rostand]]'s play of the same name, an experienced soldier who is also a skilled poet, musician, and fencer.
no edit summary
{{AstraMilitarumPortalImperiumPortal}}'''Miyamoto de Bergerac''' was [[Commissar]] [[Ciaphas Cain]]'s fencing tutor at the [[Schola Progenium]].{{Fn|1}}.
Combat training was one of the few subjects in which Cain's schola results were above average{{Fn|2}}, and [[Amberley Vail]] testified on numerous occasions that Cain was one of the finest swordsmen she ever encountered, which she attributed to a mix of his training from Bergerac, diligent practice, and combat experience.{{Fn|3}}.
In moments of stress, Cain would sometimes wield his [[chainsword]] with a lack of finesse that would lead him to ruefully imagine Bergerac's reaction.{{Fn|1}}.
