Overview
Merchant Vantus is a vampire trader operating from the Plague Marshes, selling cursed items and hex-touched goods to those who understand what they are purchasing — and to some who do not, if the profit margin is interesting enough. He maintains a legitimate vendor license and a selective understanding of full disclosure requirements.
Background & History
Vantus built his trade specialization around items that conventional merchants refused to stock, reasoning that cursed goods have buyers who cannot source them elsewhere. He sourced his initial inventory from estate sales of deceased vampire nobles and expanded into active procurement of hex-touched materials from disreputable but reliable suppliers. He is technically licensed; his compliance with associated regulations is a matter he and the licensing authority have agreed not to discuss in detail.
Personality & Allegiances
Charming in the way of people who have refined charm as a professional tool, and straightforwardly honest about item properties when he thinks it will not affect the sale price.
Vampire affinity: 80% | Werewolf affinity: 20%
