Bestiary of a Nighthunter 2
Frog for Mathias, Merchant Lord
IMPORTANT: In the artwork for this project, Mathias' physical appearance will be portrayed as Filipino. As such I will prioritize anyone with that heritage (granted, this is a fantasy world so I will be lenient with that point) Anyone is allowed to audition for this role, just keep in mind that I am prioritizing correct casting and that will affect your chances a small amount.
Mathias is a merchant lord of Midora. This position means he is among the most powerful men in the kingdom, and he knows it too. Mathias is boisterous and confidant, but beneath that is a layer of cunning found among the most adept of merchants. His performance should primarily display that haughty outward appearance, but you'll need to be able to pull that calm, cold intelligence out from time to time.
If you are interested in this role, I will need to know that you are able to commit to it for some time. Mathias is a character that pops in and out of the story multiple times. As such, I will need you on board for this project for the long haul.
The problem with theories, you see, is that theories are riddled with holes, and holes in theories lead to holes in my pockets.
(fondly at first, then shifts to morose) He’s a bright boy. The marvels he will achieve will be a thing of wonder. Truly, he deserves a father concerned with more than just coins and ships.
By investing in you I am investing in the future of Midora, Dedris. I am not blind to the wisdom of your actions. But understand this: I cannot afford to misplace my trust, nor my coin. Power between the merchant lords shifts as freely as sand beneath the tide. Should it come to light that your claim is misled after I have publicly supported you, it would spell the end of my house. Bring me proof and I will sign it.
