Thrasher

Master of Copperpenny Road Thara's Ar'Kuhl, MTGB (a.k.a. the Thrasher, Boss.)

The hobgoblin master of Copperpenny Row has held the district in his firm but gentle grip since 1002 IR. With interests in hospitality, finance and manufacturing, he is a noted figure in the downtown Bailymena business ecology and the benefactor of the city's Copperpenny Row entertainment district.   But, there is more to this genial entrepreneur than meets the eye. Yes indeed, with his charming smile and plummy Bailymena brogue it is easy to forget that this particular hobgoblin is a veteran of many nasty military conflicts in Kerrangenor, that he seized control of his domain from the criminals who held it before him using skills gained in those very campaigns, and that he is known for the severity of the punishments he levies on those who transgress his rules.

Social

Contacts & Relations

As the Guild-sanctioned Master of Copperpenny Row, Thrasher's network of contacts, informants, and business relations is vast in scope and byzantine in form. It's not an exaggeration to say that nothing happens within his neighbourhood that he is unaware of, rather, it's a well-known fact.

 

Thrasher is aided in his efforts by his lieutenants (1) and apprentices, who manage their own section of the business under his auspices and guidance. A robust intelligence service(2) keeps him up to date on relevant details within the city. You will need to get up very early indeed to get the drop on Thrasher.

Family Ties

Jhos Ar'kuhl, better known as 'Bugbear Joe', is Thrasher's cousin, lifelong companion, and most trusted confidant. They have no other known family in Bailymena.

Hobbies & Pets

Thrasher keeps a 3.78 kl (1000 gal) aquarium well-stocked with exotic fauna and corals from the Seagarden, and enjoys the symphony. He's an avid motorist, and spends more time than most would expect driving his velocipedes through the Skodian hills.

Speech

Thrasher speaks the common languages of the Empire with a bit of a growl and a thick Bailymena accent. His favourite compliment is "You're a good boy/girl/kid,[name]", and he doesn't hesitate to use cusswords when emphasis is required.

Wealth & Financial state

Extremely comfortable. There is no enterprise within Thrasher's purview which does not pay their rent or protection fees on time and in full. In return, he invests in local business and infrastructure, stimulating the local economy and providing a better-than-average standard of living for the district en large.


1.) Namely, his former apprentices Etienne "Arabet" d'Arabette, Clarice "Madam Mumbles" Deschenes, and his cousin and lifelong companion Jhos "Bugbear Joe" Ar'kuhl.

2.) The famous 'Newsstand Mafia' and 'Purple Posties' gangs.

Hobgoblin mobster, controls Copperpenny Row and its adjacent docklands. Mentor to Etienne D'Arabet, Clarice DesChenes, and Delilah DelRey.
