World of Redemption

Virgil Fisher is a middle-aged man whose face is a roadmap of a harsh and unforgiving life. His skin is weathered and scarred, pulled taut over sharp cheekbones and a prominent nose. His thinning, light brown hair does little to soften his severe features, and his pale, cold eyes hold a look of constant, weary assessment, missing no detail on a person or the item they're trying to sell. He wears the drab, unassuming attire of a forgotten shopkeeper: a simple collared shirt and a dark, dusty vest that has seen better days. He is not a large man, but his wiry frame is tense with a coiled energy, the posture of a man who is always ready for a deal to go sour. His entire demeanor is that of a spider sitting in the center of a very dangerous web.

Virgil is a man whose entire personality is a shield. He is cynical, pragmatic, and deeply untrusting, traits essential for survival in his line of work. He is a man of few words, his interactions transactional and to the point. He has no interest in friendships or alliances, only in the value of the items brought to him and the profit to be made. He possesses a sharp, appraising eye, able to spot a fake or an item of true value in an instant. While he presents a calm, almost bored exterior, he is constantly vigilant, his mind always calculating the risks of every deal. He is not a man driven by malice, but by a simple, amoral pragmatism: there is money to be made from the foolishness and violence of others, and he is simply there to collect it.

Virgil Fisher is a man who recognized a unique business opportunity in the simmering hatred between the Gray and Braithwaite families. He set up a small, unassuming shop in Rhodes, appearing to be just another struggling merchant. In reality, his shop is a front for a lucrative and dangerous trade as the town's primary fence. He has made his living by being scrupulously neutral, buying stolen goods from Braithwaite-aligned outlaws one day and Gray-affiliated rustlers the next. He knows more about the town's dirty secrets than anyone, information he carefully leverages to ensure his own survival. He is a master of discretion, a necessary skill when your entire business model depends on profiting from the crimes of two powerful, warring families who would kill him without a second thought if his true allegiances were ever discovered.
