Gustaff Samualsonsonsonson

Guildmaster of the Bennet Merchant's Guild Chapter

With pale blue eyes that peer out from thick locks of copper curls and down a long, Nerridion nose, Gustaff looks younger than he really is. Indeed, few of the Human's that come to his chapterhouse's freshly white washed walls looking for a way to finance a trek to Yaty and therefore escape the drudgery of life on a local farm ever notice the crows feet starting to form under his eyes. He has, after all, been a staple in Bennet for half a century, creating a business out of nothing, finding a niche in the market that no one thought existed. He lives comfortably in his small, two story chapterhouse, receiving visitors on the first floor and saving the second for house guests (lodging them at market rates, of course!).
 
He himself prefers to spend his evenings in the cool comfort of the basement. Or the subbasement. Or the sub-subbasement. As far as anyone in town knows, three levels down is as far as this industrious Nerrid has delved. In addition to what most assume are luxurious dwellings, there are rumors of an alchemists laboratory in one of the lower levels. There are also rumors that the burrow has tunnels leading out of it, just in case Gustoff needs to make a fast exit. Other rumors place its exit beneath one of the villages more popular taverns and given that the Nerrid is rarely seen without a whiskey in hand most are more inclined to believe this latter rumor.
 
Despite his foibles, like his strictly mercantile nature and propensity to succumb to the hiccups, Gustaff is well liked around the village. Most regard him as the local historian and his tales in the evening of even the most mundane events from years past are met with raucous laughter. Gustaff also seems to know the answer to almost any question of history, politics, of current events, that is asked. Granted, the villagers have little in the way of imagination for the grander schemes and machinations on Tarien, but few doubt a fact when in comes the Nerrid's mouth.
