## Personality

There are two very different personalities with Devante. There is the business Devante where he is highly chipper and very talkative when it comes to jokes or speaking about his skill set. This also fits with his time in the bars where he feels the most comfortable joking with patrons and selling them his wine or ale. Then there is Devante when he is actually working. This man can still crack jokes but there is always a more serious tone in his words or eyes. It is a very different look between the older gentleman of the bar who will banter with you until the sandstorms hit and a cold man who will shoot his brother in a heart beat for the right price. Whatever it takes to make a coin right?

### Beliefs

Riches are the Belied that Devante follows. He often weighs worth out of treasure and holds that above any religion. He actually highly dislikes religion, if he paid any patron it would be the Conan worlds god Bel. But that is needed when you worship money because if you don't pay to Bel he will always find a way to get his share if you like it or not.

### Quirks

The biggest thing is him calling most people 'Mate' or 'Lass' he constantly drinks when talking because he feels like he needs to do something with his hands. When he leaves people he always says the same thing.

"May the horizon give you the treasures you need."
