Raúl

Everyone who knows him understand that he's not to be trusted, but that won't help them if he sets his mind in tricking them.   This determined, selfish man, doesn't care for money, knowledge, power or even magic for what they are, but he certainly likes the luxuries and fun those things can get him; therefore, he has friends in high places, a considerable fortune and a lot of knowledge in the past, present, magic and people.

Mental characteristics

Morality & Philosophy

Raúl enjoys being the smartest or the most powerful in the room, but he doesn't mind it when he isn't. After all, what matters is to find a way to use that on his favor anyways.  
He's more informed and creative than he is smart, and his magic is more based in practice and tricks than in power (even when he actually has plenty of that), and he's especially good at using people's mind against them, both by magic spells or just the right amount of gaslighting and manipulation.
Everyone has a price. Knowing what others need and want is how you get your way, but first you need to know which is yours and make sure you don't accept anything less... unless you have a plan to take the rest, of course.
— Raul, giving advice to his nephew
 

Employment

It' s unclear what he does for The Two Families in this town that isn't related to either magic or the country government or economy.   Most think that is something secret and quite important, and that there is something in the area that is relevant somehow. Other, those who know him better suspect that he managed to manipulate someone to get himself a permanent paid vacation. The last time Manfred and Margareth considered the question, their best guess was that the Keeper sent him as far as he could because he didn't like his tricks and didn't know any other legal way to get rid of him.  

Accomplishments

According to his brother he has never do anything noteworthy. Raúl usually shrugs when hearing that.

Failures & Embarrassments

Oh, no, he has made some mistakes, but he's above shame and has always found a way to end up wining in one sense or another.
 

Social

Family Ties

Most of his relatives love him and don't really mind his behavior, but keep a safe distance because they know he's trouble. He doesn't take it personal.   The main exceptions are his brother and nephew, who dislike his ways but don't want to lost touch with him.

Relationship Reasoning

Raúl likes to share his knowledge with his nephew. Fred hates the lessons but he has to admit that they are useful.   While it seems to be the opposite, Raúl has more trust in his nephew than Fred has in him.

Motivation
External Goal
He's a simple man with simple needs that are easily sated. Food, shelter, the basics. He's very much aware that the rest are just capricious wants, most of them related to have fun and get the finest meals, entertainments and company. And he truly believes that those things are worthy to be pursued even if they are not necessary.  
Internal Goal
Enjoy life as much and for as long as possible. By any means possible.
