NPC for your plots
Vicki reminded me (Silyara) to introduce my latest (and greatest, shut up, Sandrin) temp pc. Who may one day aspire to be a full pc >>

Sandrin Tethras, of the Merchants' Guild. 34, single and mingling an absolute delight whose goofy nature does not diminish his business acumen.

A cousin (x times removed, on Narazda's husband's side) of the greatest person in all of Cumberland, one Narazda Tethras, Sandrin was raised much as she was... from a good family, not the first son, yadda yadda yadda. In fact, it took some time to convince his parents he was, in fact, male. But as with so many things, he convinced them, won them over, and learned the trades. Sandrin isn't always happy, some stereotype of the overly joyful dwarf, but he is excited much of the time and curious all of the time. It may not be good news, but damn it he'll learn it all. All that energy gets funneled into doing things and doing them right. He's an artificer who makes all his own traps and makes other goods as well. Seeing as how he's on the management side of things now, his work is either for himself or custom ordered (really, almost anything you need designed you can't just readily get anywhere else, he likes a challenge). It comes with a high level of attention to detail.

He's the warm type, whether he loves you or hates you, he doesn't see a reason to get nasty in conversation, especially in public places. If it must be dealt with, he will. And in a fight, it's not a good sign when he's smiling. Though he knows how to hold onto secrets, he's candid enough it doesn't seem as though he has many. After all, he'll go against the social grain to live his life as himself, as he thinks is right, so what secret could pull him down? He accepts other misfits and free thinkers easily but also makes nice with the traditional types. Some of them may not like his style, but he can only tone himself down so much.

Plotwise, he's up for anyone wanting Merchant Guilds' plot, would love to know other dwarves, and others! Really throw yourselves at him.
