Imogan

Imogan was an important merchant who belonged to one of the "great trading houses" of the city of Quon. Imogan was a large, hefty fellow who was barrel-shaped with thick limbs. He had a deep voice which "rumbled" when he spoke. He was described as being dressed in brightly coloured rich silks. For example, silk pantaloons covered his legs, and dainty silk slippers encased his feet. His silk slippers had soles so thin, that Imogan winced when he had to walk on cobbled streets. Imogan's personality came across as being reasonable and conciliatory.Kellanved's Reach, Chapter 8, US TPB p.131-132
==In Kellanved's Reach==
The merchants of Quon, lulled by an alliance between themselves and the twin city of Tali, had allowed Quon's northern wall - which abutted the waterfront and warehouses districts - to have been essentially dismantled for the stone to construct their large private family estates. Thus, their enemy of Nom Purge was able to take advantage of this weakness.Kellanved's Reach, Chapter 8, US TPB p.130-131
Orjin Samarr, the leader of the Purge troops, which easily entered the city, - waiting to see what the response of the merchants of Quon would be - eventually saw three enclosed, "canopied palanquins" approaching. The palanquins were carried by bearers and preceded by "elite personal bodyguards". Imogan was the occupant of the second palanquin and the other two palanquins were occupied by his fellow merchants, Pearl and Carlat. As directed by Orjin, the trio left their palanquins and approached on foot, having reluctantly also left their attendants behind. Pearl - as spokeswoman - addressed Orjin and told him that Imogan, Carlat and herself were the "elected representatives of the great trading houses of Quon". After identifying the three members of the delegation, Pearl then told Orjin, "Now we must discuss your price". This facile assumption that he could be bought off by "coin", deeply insulted Orjin and seemingly led him to order his troops to burn down all of the Quon warehouses. In reaction to this, Imogan said: "A moment, please. Perhaps we may negotiate..." To no avail, however. Pearl, supported by Imogan and Carlat, threatened the Nom Purge forces with dire consequences, telling them that, "You will all be dead within the month".Kellanved's Reach, Chapter 8, US TPB p.131-132
