The Riven Lands

A well-groomed Kitsune whose golden eyes reflect not just light but the accumulated greed of every soul bound into his counterfeit currency. His expensive clothing shifts between material wealth and spiritual emanations, creating an unsettling effect where observers can't tell if they're seeing fabric or ectoplasm. Carries specialized tools for measuring precious metals that are actually necromantic implements disguised as merchant equipment. His quick, nimble fingers leave traces of spiritual energy on everything he touches, marking objects with the cold touch of the dead.

Charming and avaricious with supernatural understanding of economic systems gained through communion with the spirits of dead merchants whose knowledge was absorbed into his cursed bloodline. Views legitimate currency as spiritually inferior to his soul-infused counterfeits that carry the accumulated greed and ambition of everyone who's ever been murdered for money. Takes intellectual pride in financial crimes that require advanced mathematical knowledge provided by the ghostly advisors who whisper economic strategies directly into his mind.

Heir to a trading family whose wealth was built on cursed gold mined from a desecrated dwarven holy site, where the spirits of murdered priests still whisper demands for vengeance. When rival merchants used divine magic to expose the cursed nature of his family's fortune, their legitimate business collapsed as the gold literally turned to ash in their vaults. Rather than face poverty, he embraced the family curse and began creating counterfeit currency using necromantic rituals that bind fragments of murdered souls into each coin, making his forgeries supernaturally convincing because they carry the spiritual weight of authentic wealth earned through blood.
