Lore
Background
He's who Aegis sends when something has to move quietly: officially an acquisitions lead, unofficially their smuggler-in-chief. Self-made, and long decided that fairness is a luxury for people who can afford to lose. Nothing leaves a rift in his presence without a cut for him.
Motivation
Aegis pays well, but it watches everything and owns everything he touches. A new guild is an open market: fewer eyes, a bigger margin, first pick of whatever comes out of a rift before it's logged. He's switching if he believes you're the better deal.
