Plout

Plout is an inhabitant of Esmeltaran, the current owner of "Cognitive Solutions", and the older brother of Meti.
While Meti was the brains of the family business, Plout was the customer-facing side of things. When Meti went missing, Plout had to take on a contract with the merchant Ratkar, and the sailor Master Faraday in order to make ends meet, and support his younger siblings Tych, Melia and Ida.
He was last seen aboard a ship with the Faraday family and Ratkar, being approached by ships sailing the flag of the Cult of the Kraken.
