Tran’zact - The Pale Notary - LE

Bargain, Balance and Debt

Tran’zact, King of the crossroads, the treaty-broker, “the worm in the apple” was once a feeble fey who witnessed the fall of Gods and rise of pantheons during the Age of Omens, And what he saw was an opportunity. Using his mortal husk as their collateral, they struck bargain after bargain from soul to soul, interweaving a network of contracts from the highest celestials to the vilest of devils, from the dominant dragons to the ephemeral elementals slowly but surely allowing them to methodically move upwards and forwards. By no means is he cutthroat nor shall he ever attempt to sully his hands. His presence is felt in every backroom deal struck, every peace treaty signed, every good and bad faith negotiation completed. He is the Notary who will find an opportunity in every pact and a loophole in every word.
“Power is in a promise and a promise is crafted by words. And words are how I shall abide by, no more, no less.”

History

Dogma

Tran’zact endorses the notion of “balance” but more so in respecting the cause and effect of trade. Every dynamic relationship must be transactional. Everything must be reciprocal, for every good deed, one must be recompensed in kind, for every evil act, a consequence of evil measure must be dealt out. There is no karma, only the accrument of debt and the exchange of goods or services rendered which must be paid. Generosity and Charity hold little sway in Tran’zact’s court as what you receive in good deed is but another coin for your coffer. Tran’zact relishes trade and mercantilism as it is the comprehensive mechanism of where a value can be set and distributed amongst life. And if trade is the body, then contracts are its lifeblood flowing through it, as only with promises and obligations can trade persists.

Home Plane

Originally from the Fey plane, he wandered different planes only to finally settle on Hekuda as it is rife with profit.

Appearance

He appears as a lankish young man with an ephemeral crown and a thin smile, his hands and legs as well as his moth-like wings betray his original fey appearance.

Relationships

He is amicable with most Divinity as he is courteous and attempts to be accommodating with all the pantheons in order to pursue the best outcome and benefit from it. Many tolerate him for he is nothing but practical but few can stand his presence for long.

Temples And Shrines

A shrine to Tran’zact is placed in most banks, mercantile guilds, trade houses and brokerages as a sign of good faith to ensure proper contract dealing and mutual profitable benefit.
