Laurent Nazaire

Laurent Nazaire is the head of the Chicago Atlantean Foundation branch. A Haitian dwarf with a French-Quebecois accent, he’s open, down-to-earth, and seemingly very honest. This makes many in the shadow community nervous because they don’t believe it, but thus far, no one has been able to dig up any dirt on him. He’s been a key figure in the Atlantean Foundation’s hunt for ancient magical artifacts, and he is almost obsessed in his quest to study these artifacts and discover everything about them. He knows that if the Dragons get their claws on the artifacts, they’ll lock them up tight away from the world, so he knows he needs to get to them first.

Look at this. It's worthless. Buy it from a vendor down the street for ten dollars. But bury it in the sand for a few thousand years, and then... then it is priceless.
