The Merchant
"Names have power, you shall call me The Merchant. And I shall give you a nickname that suits you"
A mysterious man travelling the country of Tempricida selling his wares. His apperance seems to shift and change subtly all the time, so no one has pinned down what he looks like.

The Merchant claims to have once lived at the Sleeping Cliffs, and does seem to have the traditional Fate marking of eyes under his own, regular eyes. Any rumors of those second eyes moving are just that, rumors.
The Merchant may not be the most open book as people go, but he is well known by a variety of groups, and it's constant about him that The Merchant is fond of the joys of life, throwing parties for various holidays where he shows his aptitude as a crafter of rather delicious but also very strong cocktails. He's a bard as well, regailing and entertaining towns with his performances.
