Dirk Kleine

Dirk Kleine was a merchant specializing in metal ores and the mining processes to find and refine them. A close friend to another member of the Merchants' Guild, Plutarch Manna, Dirk was brainwashed by the demonic power he discovered after his family's deaths. He then began manipulating the customers who bought his wares, bleeding their wallets dry until the spell was broken. Since he was strongly involved in the guild's corruption (as well as him being connected to the main perpetrator), he was stripped of all his assets and exiled from town.
==History==
===Early Life===
WIP
==Personality==
Dirk was rebellious and independent, preferring to do things his own way rather than follow the guidance of others. He was very quarrelsome and often argued with others, even over menial things. Along with this, he despised those of the "haughty upper classes" and saw them as delicate people who never struggled or worked for anything. Despite his attitude, he still managed to act amicable with others and even had a few friends.
==Skills and Abilities==
Befitting his status as a merchant, Dirk had a good eye for dealing with financial affairs and was known to be able to "sniff out" good deals. He was also decently skilled at finding high-quality items and bartering with customers to have them pay higher for them. These skills also made him an excellent investigator that could gather reliable information and compile it to learn the truth about things.
Dirk was a Quaker with an affinity for earth magic. He used his ability to sense pockets of "emptiness" in the earth, using this as a form of radar to locate ore veins underground.
==Character Connections==
Plutarch Manna: Dirk's friend and ally. Becoming a member of the merchants' guild on Plutarch's suggestion, the two bonded over their shared interest in it. This bond developed following Dirk's possession by the Demon of Greed, as both men devolved into their base greed. After Plutarch's death, Dirk expressed his disappointment at himself for not stopping his friend, and for not being there more after the death of his family.
