Lord Edmund Duststone
Mental characteristics

Education
Edmund was privately tutored from the age of seven, and continues to maintain a working knowledge of economics, politics, and current events across the empire.
Employment
Owner or majority shareholder of multiple shipping companies; grand master of the carriers' guild.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Despite his noble herritage, most consider Edmund a self-made man, due to the fortune he has made for himself in the shipping industry. Not a single merchant ship enters the Capitol Harbor without Edmund making a profit off of it (directly or indirectly).
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Seems almost entirely profit-driven, but not just financially. He will readily seize any opportunity to incease his status or gain a favor over someone if he believes it worth the risk.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Renowned chess player, even among people who care about that sort of thing.
Vices & Personality flaws
If lord Edmund suffers from any flaws, arrogance should certainly be at the top of the list. For all of his caution and calculated risks, it seems to never cross his mind that he could be fooled by anyone.
Social
Religious Views
The Duststone line has developed somewhat of a reputation for being career atheists (a word which here does not indicate a lack of belief in the gods, but a general apathy), and Edmund seems to carry that tradition into his business dealings. Where most merchants typically set aside a tenth of their profits as a tithe, Edmund's donations average to about one thirtieth of his income.
Speech
Since his return from military service, lord Edmund has gained a reputation for never speaking in public. In fact, no one in the Capitol has credibly claimed to ever hear him speak outside of his immediate family. Rumors abound as to the reason, though the only credible theory is that he sustained a throat injury during his service.
Wealth & Financial state
As the head of a major guild as well as the patriarch of a minor noble house, Edmund Duststone commands a considerable fortune. By most estimates, his combined annual income approaches 1.2 million drakes, and his estate is worth at least five times that. He owns several tracts of land across akregia and velaria, as well as his sizable manor house in Daigul Heights.
