Missan Saleks, my fantroll, and his ancestor, known only as the Merchant.

The Merchant was cold. Poised. Always cool, collected, and in control. He was called the Merchant but in actuality he was more of a pirate or a swindler. He made off with a great many tons of gold, which he hid on an out-of-the-way cave on an out-of-the-way planet, where no one ever found it. He was later executed for his crimes, but not before he managed to send his then fairly large lusus back to Alternia.

Missan takes after his ancestor in that he loves gold and hoarding things. Some of the things he hoards aren't gold though, such as old movies, submarines, and ridiculous clothes. His lusus is a gargantuan serpent. He enjoys taking stupid reckless risks, most of which involve fighting even more gargantuan sea monsters- one of these fights resulting in his fins and gills getting badly burned by acid. He mostly recovered, and to this day delights in fighting monsters. He by nature despises authority and so, naturally, his life's dream is to say a big "fuck you" to )(er Imperious Condescension. (and then presumably getting immediately executed)
