Argreer Manor

Kevik Argreer, the lord of the manor.

Kevik Argreer is a quiet little man who is, at best, ill-suited to oversee a large family merchant business. He is the latest, and perhaps last, of a long line of merchants borne from the Argreer family. Generations before him labored to broaden the merchanting enterprise that he inherited, but Kevik has never shared their passion.

The unfocused Kevik fares poorly in business. Despite his best intentions, he loathes the life of a merchant. He is a volatile mix of conflicting emotions about his deceased father, desperate to redeem his worthiness, yet filled with anger for the relentless demands of an unyielding patriarch who forced him into the family business.

Kevik's one love is his interest in magic. As an only child, he was the heir to the family business and all else was secondary. His father rebuked his interests, and Kevik reluctantly embarked upon his merchanting destiny. Even as an adult, fearful of reprisal, Kevik was unwilling to seek out training while his father lived.

With his father's passing, Kevik was the sole remaining member of the Argreer family. He sought and received arcane training, but it has brought him no solace. The emotional scars of his childhood haunt him, and have left him mentally and emotionally unbalanced. Ever thoughtful and silent, Kevik believes that he can somehow learn from his deceased ancestors, and has secretly brought the remains of his merchant forefathers to the hidden depths of his home. Determined to please a father long dead, Kevik's passion has intensified into obsession, and he spends much of his time behind the locked doors of a secret laboratory.
