Malik al-Rashid

*Back from a long absence*
A seasoned financier from Kasra, Malik al-Rashid has recently established himself in Thunder Mountain, seeking new opportunities in the city’s growing economy. Known for his keen business sense and unyielding grip on debts owed, he quickly positioned himself as a key figure in local trade, offering loans to merchants, artisans, and even city officials—always with terms that ensure his profit.

Clad in rich red and gold robes, a silent display of both prosperity and power, he keeps no outward symbols of wealth save for his fine leather-bound ledger, where every debt is recorded with meticulous precision. Despite his outward courtesy, those who fail to repay him soon learn that his patience is as thin as the margin for error in his calculations. Some say he has ties to wealthy Merchant Castes in the south, while others whisper that his influence extends into more shadowed dealings, though none would dare to question him outright.

With Thunder Mountain rising in prominence, Malik intends to ensure that coin flows through his hands—and that no one forgets who holds the city's purse strings.
