Aldo Fetcher
Aldo Fetcher is a balding, middle-aged man who walks with a slight stoop. His dress is poor, and he is obviously unused to the rigors of the road. Accustomed to having both customers and city officials try to take advantage of him, Aldo adopts a defensive attitude whenever he is confronted by strangers. Accustomed to a hard life, Aldo doesn’t expect help when he meets with misfortune, and so doesn’t even think to ask for it.
History
A simple merchant hailing from Fireshear, Aldo Fetcher has spent most of his life selling sundries to the stream of new residents who come to work in the mines. Although he never lacked for business, the profits on Aldo’s wares were thin. With the rent on his shop and the license Aldo paid to operate it, he was lucky most years to set anything aside. Recently, it dawned on Aldo that he has spent the best years of his life toiling in Fireshear as miserably as any miner and with almost nothing to show for it, and so he resolved to change his fortunes. Scraping together every bit of his savings and calling in a few debts, Aldo began discretely purchasing small quantities of fine trade goods that were parts of larger shipments bound for ports of call in the cities of the south. Having assembled a miscellany of valuable goods, Aldo sold his shop to an enterprising new arrival and used the proceeds to purchase a wagon and some cart horses, and signed on with the last caravan of the season making its way north to Icewind Dale in hopes of finally making his fortune.
