Sly Selcwyth

Sly Selcwyth is the apocryphal story of a cancchia from an unnamed Nictan city who trapped overly-greedy or foolhardy people in business deals and contracts that, ultimately, only benefitted Sly Selcwyth in the end. Everything that Sly Selcwyth said was exactly what he did, but there would be a hidden meaning in his words, such as promising "untold riches" to a potential business partner only to reveal that he would not be telling them any of what they had earned -- thus, untold riches. His exploits are the subject of numerous books and movies to the point where characters who are at all similar to him might be called "Sly Selcwyth deriatives," and someone who is called a "sly" business owner will likely be reputed for double-talk and contracts that have an excess of fine print.
