Arthur Raddock (Merchant)
Mr. Arthur Sydney Raddock
The Raddock’s have been merchants for the last 40years who have, with each generation built upon the successes of the previous generation. 7 years ago, the Raddocks were one of the most successful merchant families in Agos on the continent Orwynn. Through a series of bad investments and worse fortune, the Raddocks saw their wealth and prestige slip away until they were left nearly penniless. The Raddocks were often used by other trade families as an example of how mercurial fate can be in the life of a merchant.
Arthur is the youngest of five siblings (2 sisters and 2 brothers) and has grown up on tales of his father’s adventures as a merchant and stories of “the good old days”. Arthur, now a young man of moderate means himself is determined to recapture The family’s days of fortune and prestige.
Arthur has invested his life savings into creating a new trade route between Agos and a new mining town in the Northern Agossian hills known as Barrow’s Gold

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Raised on stories of adventure, wealth, and prestige from his grandfather, Arthur has dreamed of restoring the family’s honor and wealth in the Merchant families of Agos. Focused on this goal, he has driven himself to learn everything he can of the merchant trade including accounting, route management, leadership, literacy, etiquette, negotiation, politics, and more.
He has worked his way through a number of jobs but until recently was an accountant for one of the moderate sized merchant families. Dedicated to his dream of restoring the prestige of the Raddock name, he has saved nearly every copper earned to one day start his own business.
Education
Arthur has never lacked for education. Despite hard times, the Raddock family has always invested in education and Arthur and his siblings have had excellent tutors on a wide variety of subjects - the breadth and depth of which would certainly rival any minor noble’s education. He is versed in current politics, economics not only in Agos, but across the continent of Orywynn and even some knowledge of the neighboring continents. He is a shrewd negotiator and talented diplomat.
