Rufus (Krajan Clan)

As the Clan Accountant, if there is anything Rufus knows very well, it is treasure. Rufus prides himself on knowing exactly how much the Clan has to spend at all times, as well as tracking debts owed to and from the Krajan Clan. Rufus has a bit of an arrogant bent to his personality, but his ability with numbers and the knowledge that it is his hard work and financial planning that keeps the Clan funds from running out make him a valuable member of the Clan.
== History ==
== Personality ==
Under Rufus' guidance, the Clan have adopted the practice of noting down each and every piece of treasure earned or spent, and turning in their payment logs nightly so the meticulous dragon can balance the books and ensure they have ample funds for all their needs. As a result, Rufus has been given a large room within the cave they call home where he can store his work, and the dragon is often found here within his office, going over the numbers.
Because so much of his time is spent dealing with the Clan's financial needs, Rufus rarely has time for frivolities such as romance, and contrary to rumors of his secret love life and interest in various dragons, the skydancer is not actually seeking such ties. Nor does he intend to; even were he to have the time, Rufus is strictly uninterested in romance, though if pressed he will admit to considering his subordinates friends as well as employees, and to enjoying their company.
== Duties ==
* Handing out allowances to hatchlings
* Providing spending money to adults heading out on Clan business
* Head of the Clan's trading efforts, he procures needed items as well as arranges the sale of excess.
* Balancing Clan accounts and tracking spending and savings.
== Relationships ==
===== Odin =====
One of many subordinates to Rufus and in charge of watching market trends, though they are not particularly close Rufus relies on him quite a bit to ensure that the Clan is buying cheap and selling high. As a result they work together often and have a cordial relationship. Rufus considers him to be indispensable.
===== Panori =====
Head of the Scavenging sub-department of the Merchant's Export Division, Panori spends most of his time out and about looking for diamonds in the rough, so to speak. They rarely associate past Panori turning in expense reports and lists of items he's found for Rufus to have sold off.
===== Swindle =====
While he is nominally he is considered a member of Rufus' Exports Division, the two don't really see eye to eye. Swindle is greedy and makes a habit of trying to keep as much of the treasure he makes for himself as he can get away with and it annoys Rufus a great deal. Still, they're coworkers and in a pinch Swindle can be counted on to do his job. Fortunately he spends most of the year away from the Clan, and as they say–absence makes the heart grow fonder, or some such thing.
