Third Factorum of Guild Venter, powerfully charismatic
1655
Not regarded as a great socializer. Dressed immaculately in plain dark grey and unexceptional to look at, he had tremendous presence; ladies queued up to dance with him, and men deferred to him. Lynien made small talk to find out what she could about him. He was cool, charming, precise, and unflappable, and reminded her strongly of Méabh in the magnitude of his presence, his control of the situation. As a major banker he was, of course, extremely rich; but this didn't really account for his personal charisma.
