Description
Melville is an average looking dohwar, with the typical black back feathers and white belly of his kind. Unlike many other dohwar, he has the crest-feathers marking him of the Chrysoco Cartel. His eyes are a dark orange-red colour. He is fond of garish clothing, but has found as an arms merchant dealing often with the Elven Imperial Navy, they often respond best when he dons military garb. As such he often wears a blue frock coat with gold buttons. He always has a small brass locket, which contains a painting of his beloved.
Background
Melville is fortunate enougfh to have once lived on the dohwar homeworld of Foresti (https://www.thepiazza.org.uk/bb/viewtopi...b5d0e8d9e0) Though his cartel is not one of the big four.
Melville is a Salesman of the Chrysoco Cartel, out on his own for the first time. He spent his first few years as an adult serving as an apprentice aboard a dohwar uspo, the Blizzard, learning the trade of both the the deal, and of being a navigator. His skills with the wizardly arts have marked him out as early management material, and the executive board has sent him on a mission of emissary to develop a trading agreement with the lucrative clients of the Elven Imperial Navy.
To this end they had him book passage on a Sindiath Line vessel, the Amaranthine, in return for working a tour as a navigator and backup helmsman.
He spent as much of his free time on that tour of service learning the nuances of the Elvish language, and was hoping to make a potential contact with the captain of that vessel with the hopes of then getting an inroad into the IEN navy itself.
The captain never really warmed to him despite his best efforts, rebuffing his constant attempts at negotiation. He has tried everything he could, but the more insistent he became, the more the captain resisted his efforts. He even tried, after reading those thoughts of annoyance, to try just being quiet and not bothering the captain for a week. A full week!
He sensed the captains annoyance ebbing, so decided to broach teh subject again. That was a mistake, instantly the captain's annoyance returned and the captain made a decision to terminate his contract. He has been put ashore in Bral, a dismal failure, having not procured the hoped for IEN supply contract. He needs to prove himself a successful merchant, either winning a lucrative trade agreement that rivals the hoped for deal, or find other success, else he will never make Manager. If he cannot make manager and prove himself successful, how can he ever enter a successful merger with his beloved Nataya, his fledgling sweetheart?
