Description: This fat eastern man has a bulbous nose and is bundled in multiple layers and is prepared for a desert trek wearing a turban that covers his face most of the time. His skin is also unnaturally pale. With a patchy blonde beard and wild blonde hair. His eyes are brown and catlike.

Personality: He is curt in most of his responses. He prefers to keep his word usage to a minimum to avoid giving away unnecessary information. He is a very good compulsive liar and kleptomaniac.

History: He comes from a rich eastern family. His family was being driven out of business by several neighboring competitors.

He hopes to save up enough money to one day pay a cleric to cure him.
