Overview

Banker Aurelius operates Aeternum's primary financial institution from a reinforced office in the Dark Forest, offering gold storage, loans, and currency exchange to all comers regardless of faction. He is one of the wealthiest individuals in Aeternum and one of the most careful — his loans are extended only to those with demonstrated repayment capacity, and his interest rates are steep. He has, however, never lost a deposit.

Background & History

Aurelius built his banking empire over eighty years by being the only lender willing to finance both sides of the vampire-werewolf war simultaneously. He reasons, correctly, that the side that loses still has debts, and the side that wins needs capital for reconstruction. He now holds debt instruments from three vampire noble houses and two werewolf clan confederations, which gives him a level of political leverage he is careful never to exercise visibly. He employs twelve guards, all of whom are more capable than they appear.

Personality & Allegiances

Measured, courteous, and completely without sentimentality in financial matters. He is genuinely kind in personal interactions but becomes a different person entirely when numbers are on the table.

Vampire affinity: 50%  |  Werewolf affinity: 50%

Dialogue

"Gold stored here is gold protected. My vaults have survived four sieges. The attackers did not."
"A loan is available. The terms are non-negotiable. The consequences of default are also non-negotiable."
"I lend to both factions. I also collect from both factions. This is called balance."

Interaction & Tips

Depositing gold with Aurelius earns daily interest. Taking a loan and repaying it on time unlocks improved interest rates and a larger storage cap for your account.
