Can I play Inexorable Defeat on a personality that I have used Enticement on, knowing that the movement will fail, just to lose the 2 honor and commit seppuku?

Inexorable Defeat: Battle: If any enemy units are at the current battlefield, choose your performing Personality: Move him there. Straighten his unit if he moved. You scorch the earth behind him. If he moved, negate the movement of any other units to the battlefield. Lose 2 Honor.

Enticement: Open: Pay Gold equal to the total Gold Cost of the targeted Personality's unit: Lose 3 Honor. Take control of a target Personality. While you control him, you may not assign his unit to attack and he will not move to attack. Before this turn ends, give control of him to his owner.

Thanks,

Yes.

If the question is, "Does 'Your" mean I control it or own it?", generally the latter. http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Glossary_X-Z
