Usurer

Usurer (高利貸し) is the tentative name for a loan shark that operates in Arwintar.
== Appearance ==
The man is described as having arms and a chest that were packed with muscles. His appearance alone could force anyone standing in front of him to give him anything he wanted.Overlord First Half Chapter 53: Invaders Part 1
== Personality ==
Despite his appearance, the loan shark wasn't the type of person that relied on violence. While he tried to keep things civil, by lowering his head, his face showed not a trace of sincerity. Though when faced with a stronger foe, he would change his attitude, but never admit that he was frightened. That being said although he is a loan shark, the man was not without emotions and could feel genuine pity. However, he knew his priorities to recover his money and interests and stayed out of affairs that did not involve him.Overlord First Half Chapter 59: Invaders Part 7

Just when things were about to get heated, Hekkeran Termite came into the inn and demanded to know what was going on. After being introduced to the leader of Foresight, the loan shark former arrogance wilted after sensing his aggression. The Usurer attempted to explain more cordially that he was looking for Arche to discuss a private matter. When Hekkeran stated that he did not know, the man stated that he would wait, but the worker told him to get lost and subtly threatened him with violence. Confronted with the pressure from Hekkeran, the man decided to leave but not before passing a message for Arche that the "deadline is approaching."Overlord Volume 07 Chapter 1: Invitation to Death
When Arche failed to return from her latest job, her father Sir Furt signed another contract and borrowed an additional hundred gold coins from the Usurer. When inquired about the whereabouts of his daughter, Furt replied that he couldn't care less, stating that she was ungrateful, just because she earned a little money. He stated the next time he saw her he would teach her what being an aristocrat was about.

Before departing the Usurer reminded Sir Furt to not to forget about the repayments.Overlord Volume 07 Epilogue
