Buster Spender

Buster Spender is just a name, really, in the first book, but he is a huge plot point where Tarkil finds a very important clue as to who the High King might actually be.

Buster is a middle aged man, fit, with average looks though a winning personality. He dresses modestly, though as a merchant of some means he does have access to nice clothes and tailors. His eyes are a dark brown, as is his short, wavy hair. He loves to chat it up with people, even small talk becomes an adventure with him. His nose is slightly crooked, which he loves to say his sister, Shar, broke when they were younger.

Buster travels mostly from Weatherworn to Goldleaf near the Tsalagi Mountains, though sometimes he brings his merchant wagon trains as far east as Merryweather or Varanath. He ships what ever his clients want, buying at a reasonable price then selling a good profit. He is very money savy, though it doesn't claim his life.

He is also part of the Society of the King, a group who's purpose is to find the true High King before Tridon is torn apart by civil war. His sister, and co-owner of the Sweet Water Trading Company, has no idea he is part of the Society and he plans on keeping it that way.
