Selwyn Marrow
Human, Import merchant
Loud and hearty in public, drops to tense whispers in private. Repeats himself when nervous.
What's Under the Floor. He wants the cache identified and removed quietly before whoever's watching the warehouse decides to take it back by force.
The Watcher. He wants to know who's surveilling his property and why, but is too afraid to investigate himself — every attempt has ended with him losing his nerve.
Appearance
Stocky, sun-browned, with a leather-wrapped stump where his left hand used to be — lost, he claims, to a shipping accident. New rings crowd his remaining fingers.
Secret
He found a cache of ancient weapons hidden beneath his warehouse floor, clearly placed there before he bought the building, and someone has been surveilling the property since he reported it to no one.
Quirks
Checks over his shoulder mid-sentence
Overtips everyone, compulsively, as if buying goodwill
Personality traits
Performatively jovial
Genuinely frightened underneath the bluster
Ideal
"Money bought me out of trouble before. It'll do it again."
Bond
The warehouse itself, his sole asset, which he now fears entering alone.
Flaw
His visible fear and erratic generosity are drawing exactly the attention he's trying to avoid.
