Claude Verte
Claude Verte's wealth and influence in Port-a-Lucine paint a picture of a man who has amassed his fortune through exploitation and manipulation. As a scion of generational wealth, he has leveraged his family's resources to build a vast empire that extends far beyond the confines of the city.
His ownership of numerous slums and poorhouses reveals a callous disregard for the well-being of the city's most vulnerable residents, using exploitative housing practices to squeeze every last coin from those who can least afford it. Through shrewd negotiations through his position within the Council of Brilliance, Claude has secured favorable leasing agreements for his properties, further lining his pockets at the expense of the impoverished.
But Claude's ambitions extend beyond the borders of Port-a-Lucine. By building a complex network throughout the Core, he has sought to exploit the resources and people of foreign lands to further enrich himself. Whether through questionable business dealings or outright blackmail, Claude has made a name for himself as one of the most ruthless figures in the region, amassing wealth and power through any means necessary.
Yet, beneath the veneer of opulence and influence lies a man whose greed knows no bounds. As Claude's empire continues to expand, so too does the suffering of those caught in his web of exploitation. And as whispers of his nefarious dealings spread throughout the city, there are those who dare to question whether his wealth is truly worth the cost.
