Yassen Raeveld

"'It takes a great deal of back-scratching or back-stabbing to get into the Ailar's good books, and it takes the Ailar's approval to get anything done around here. And so, here I am.'"Yassen Raeveld is a slaver hailing from the isle of Acre, although he lives in Molise and frequents the whole of Narada.

Appearance
Yassen is a male human of around 30 years in age. He has a long face with tousled brown hair, and would be handsome if he groomed more often. His stubbled jaw is often smeared with dirt and grim, and his hazel eyes are slightly tinged with yellow, which is not an omen of pristine health. He stands just over six feet in height and has a lean yet muscled build. He favors drab clothes, mostly coarse linen and leather.

Personality
Yassen is coarse, blunt and even rude, and few people seem to ever see another side to him.

Background
Yassen was born in Acre but took to the slave trade when he ended up moving to Molise for reasons not yet known to the party. He quickly established himself as a leading figure in the slave industry, and by the time he was 25 he had not only become well-known across Napori but also dominated the trade of pit fighters in Molise, practically helped run the city and had acquired a prize pit fighter in Emyll Rousk, a Goliath that he had bought himself.

Recent Activity
The first and last time Yassen was seen by the party, he was in Nesseri awaiting word from the Ailar if he would be permitted to rent some of Tallow's own ships in order to export slaves to the realm of Arkhos. He left the city when one of his associates, a wine merchant named Cirro who had himself become involved in Yassen's exports, was mysteriously slain in his own cellar. Sensing his own illicit activities in the city would be discovered, Yassen has returned to Molise to continue business as usual.
