Background: Guild Merchant Caravanserai: Where the Merchant Guild travels, you can claim passage for yourself and your companions, be it in a caravan or on a river barge or a seafaring vessel. Because this is a favor, you have no say in available schedules and the like and you and those with you are expected to pitch in along the way.

Personality Trait: I always want to know how people think and what makes them tick.

Ideal: I am loyal to friends and companions more than to any dogma or principle.

Bond: I once cheated the exact wrong person in a trade and must work to ensure this individual never crosses paths with me or those I care about.

Flaw: When trading with someone in a position of power or influence, I can't resist trying to get the better of them . . . honestly or otherwwise.

Backstory Nguyen is a woman of middle age, but she goes about in the guise of a frail old lady more often than any other face she might wear. Hailing from Acalon, the "palm' of the Sheltered Hand, she spent much of her formative years as a journeywoman of the Merchant's Guile, a member in good standing, and a mistress of languages.

At least, that was her life until her caravan camped beneath the Eldar Tree on the plains of An'la on a trade mission to the Anlat. She learned later from the nomads of the plains that no such tree was known in their land, but that day it had been real; and that night only she, of the entire caravan, had seen the tree limned in silver under a moonless sky. Its branches reached and grasped like tentacles, and a thousand eyes blinked along the trunk and another thousand on every twig and branch.

Its unspeakable name was seared into the front of her brain like the unseen glyph in a golem's brow that bound it to service and could undo it if marred or removed.

Nguyen served.

Some days as Lady Nguyen. Some - few - in her natural form of Journeyman Nguyen. Some days she played the faceless urchin child. Some days a bearded artisan or guard. Some days she was an exotic Sindanre or a stout and taciturn Tarat or a grizzled Yryc.

But most days she wore the weathered ancient face of Mama Nguyen, wandering elder and so called wise woman of the Sheltered Hand.
