Marquis Altair Rahani
Marquis of the Void Spire | Master of the Rahani Mercantile Consortium Altair Rahani
Personality:
Pragmatic & Aristocratic – Holds a deep respect for tradition and noble hierarchy, seeing his Consortium as a merchant dynasty rather than just a business.
Coldly Strategic – He views business, alliances, and trade as a long game, willing to invest years into securing monopolies or undercutting competitors.
Patient but Unforgiving – Those who betray or insult the Consortium are methodically ruined, ensuring no one dares cross the Rahani name twice.
The Void Spire & Its Role in the RMC
City built atop towering mesas, connected by massive rope bridges and Indrethi stables.
Indrethi breeding & training plays a key role in RMC’s overland trade operations, offering fast and unmatched desert transportation.
Luxury trade hub – RMC focuses on fine textiles, gemstones, and rare artisanal goods, operating through heavily protected caravans.
Major supplier of Indrethi mounts – Not just for trade, but leased or sold to nobles, mercenaries, and elite messengers.
Controls a series of fortified caravanserais across the Al-Kir Desert, ensuring safe travel for traders under their protection.
Reputation & Relationship with BTC
Seen as the refined alternative to BTC – Less ruthless, more structured and prestigious.
Respects Ellenore Basara but does not trust her – Prefers long-term power consolidation over aggressive expansion.
Fiercely territorial – RMC and BTC do not compete directly, but Altair refuses to let BTC infringe upon his inland monopolies.
"Time is the greatest merchant. The wise do not rush a deal—they let it ripen."
