Liamelia's 'pure blood race only' policy is what intrigued Alton to come and settle down a slight bit in Liamelia. His natural distaste for Humans allowed him to blend in the crowd well enough to find acceptance with the locals, but they keep an eye on him due to his shady nature. His shop, The Burning Merchant, sells all kinds of magical items, from weapons and armor, to other magical items and trinkets. Some of the other shop owners and customers note that Alton's shop does more selling then buying, and often is full of items to be sold with no shortage ever reported. Few know of the true meaning behind the name of his shop for that is his major source. Using his sneakiness, natural ability to cause trouble and favourite items (Nolzur's Marvelous Pigments and Portable Hole), Alton makes his way to the city-states of Chondath to rob shop owners there and take their wares. His favoured tactic is to use Nolzur's Marvelous Pigments to make his own back door into a shop, kill the owner and any customers at the time (if possible), and then again use the Nolzur's Marvelous Pigments to draw a magical door leading back to his shop where he can move the now stolen goods quickly and efficiently. He uses the Portable Hole to hold his most useful and treasured items such as gold, gems, magical items, any small trinkets he fancies and Flasks of Burning. To cover the whole operation up, Alton simply burns the remnants of the shop down using the Flasks of Burning. This not only ensures that his coffers stay full, but reduces the competition in the human empire to the north. Of course, Alton kills only when need be, and that is when people become an inconvenience. More then one person has no doubly felt his favourite dagger enter their back because they attempt to cheat him. The only reason Liamelian authorities haven't moved against Alton is because he usually gets rid of any who cause problems in the marketplace and because his shop generates much income. |
