Powers or Strengths: Money, influence, charisma, sense of humor.
History:
Chlldhood: Andreas family used to live in a distant country named Am’ryca (where you would find Florida in the map of the Pah Tahrenor to the far west. He was a happy child, living in the southern corner of a continent that for the most part was left wide open to settlers who had managed to make it to the east. His family had long been wealthy merchants in the land, dealing with the growing of spices, herbs and other foods and goods from their plantation in their city state of Ridas. It was here he learned the art of fencing, business, and debate. He became quite fluent in his language as well as that of the various races who lived in the region.
Adolescence/Earlier Adulthood: During his teen years, the city of Ridas found itself in dire straits with the neighboring war-like city state of Isapartun. For years the war raged between the two and although Andreas sought to fight the invading forces, his father Jordann arranged for him to “partake in an expedition for new markets”. Little did Andreas know that his father knew that the Ispartuns had created an alliance with other city states and were most likely going to win the war. A ship was laden with months worth of food and the products of their business and he left.
A storm blew him off course and he found himself shipwrecked with a few survivors of his crew (on the shores of what we know as Spain in our own world.) It is here that he discovered bands of barbarians and dangerous creatures that harried he and his crew, After six years of wandering and meeting tribes both friendly and hostile, he found himself in the city of Marn. Alone and friendless.
Present Day: Fortunately for Andreas he had wits, ten large bars of gold, and determination. He settled himself in the lower crust of town, buying a brothel from a rather despicable man, and making it into a place of some distinction, catering only to the wealthiest men who wished to keep their sexual practices discreet while treating his courtesans as equals, a thing often thought to be unheard of. The brothel became a tavern and inn, where many patrons, if they pay good coin or barter well, can enjoy the flesh of his courtesans. However, if a man seeks to harm one of his courtesans, he has an able bodied security staff to hurt them in ways that would define agony.
He has moved on from such endeavors of the flesh to those of business. His love of drink has caused him to experiment with brewing techniques for ale, as well as cures for the eventual hangover.
He has recently become quite popular for his tavern and the fact he seems to wish to bring improvement and respectability to the neighborhood. In this he has made numerous enemies and friends. One would think him greedy or vain, but he simply chooses to wallow in his success.
Despite the sometimes dangerous streets and conditions of the city, Andreas carries onward with a bright and optimistic, although roguish state of mind. The poor respect him and the rich despise him because of his competition. And all the while, the money keeps rolling in from every side.
