Name:
Requan (meaning 'Shark') Cammael
Age:
38 years
Physical Description:
Dark, rough skin tanned from years in the sun. Chestnut to black hair that he
wears long. A tall man standing at 6"2 and with a lean build. His face is like
worn leather and a small white scar travels from his nose and ending as a slice
on his upper lip. He possesses an age-less quality that all Evendim people
inherit. His eyes are tawny and narrow. He keeps trim facial hair and dresses
well, but plainly. He walks with strength to defy his years and is well-muscled
from running a battalion. His ear piercings are the only things that betray his
former life, and his earrings tend towards the heavily ornamental and
extravagant.
Personality/ Attitude:
Ambiguous. Requan is very quiet and his motives are never clear. He never gets
excitable and when he speaks, he doesn't say a word more than necessary. In all
ways he could appear mellow and laidback except for the glint in his eye that
tells of a deeper business he runs. He is a man of the most frightening
intelligence and extensive knowledge, scientific and social. Surprisingly
Requan's vice is illicit substances. A long-time opium addict, his dependence
upon the opiates has not affected his ability to function in later years.
Secretive, private, polite, he is every bit the normal citizen, but then he'd
tell you that normal is quite underrated.
Brief History:
As a young man Requan burned off lots of testosterone and excess
energy by living as an Evendim pirate. Quickly rising through the ranks by his
preternatural observation and keen political manipulation, he captained many
ships and his successful career in thievery has left him an incredibly wealthy
man. His days of piracy first introduced him to opiates and was the beginning of
his addiction, and he went through several withdrawals, crashes and faced
near-death twice. However in these years he was also exposed to many foreign
lands and has travelled all over the map from Karse, Rethwellan, the Eastern
Empire, the plains of the Shin'a'in, some of the Tayledras lands, Hardorn and
now back to Valdemar. He returns to Haven City as an information broker and a
force in the black market. With many foreign connections he can provide
essential information, political and social commentary, not to mention exotic
(illegal) goods and narcotics. The Guards and Heralds aren't sure what to do
with him other than always keep a close eye on him. He has aided them with
information, political advice, simple scientific knowledge garnered from places
outside of Valdemar and aided shadier characters, and opposing countries alike
without discrimination, not to mention his illegal merchantry. His simple, yet
odd, set of morals, and lack of malicious intent, however, are what keep him
under the radar. He understands the ins and outs and ways of the world and its
relation to Valdemar better than anyone else, and his hobby-like attitude to his
intricate workings and dealings make him both threatening and non-threatening
simultaneously.
Goals in life:
None. He has accomplished all he wishes and lives his day to day life
in comfortable contentment and excitement. Useful, for dealing with dagger-happy
clients, when he's not loathe to go.
Gifts:
Magic is not for him. When he wants a mage, he'll buy their services
Position:
Information broker, political sauvant. Also a merchant in many things
illegal.
