* Family members/Friends/People They Know:
	+ Received a letter from his business rival Barret Dillahunt in Missives From A Corpse.
	+ Employs **Dieter** von Richenbach to protect Blithe from magical attacks.
	+ Samantha Dillahunt: After the events of Missives From A Corpse, knowing that she had some talent at predicting the future, he began to often ask her about what companies to invest his money in. She had started investing her wealth here and there after he bought out her father's company from her, so she was making investments and they got to chatting. Although he's very clever and skilled at deciding where to invest Hoard Holdings' money all on his own, talking to someone who can literally see the future can't hurt.
	+ Was a business partner (\*coughs\* and lover) of Zamfira Argentine. Nearly a century ago, they dated and he fathered Stella and Sterling Argentine. However, he left Zamfira and avoided the family for over 90 years until Winter in July, where Stella accidentally found out he is her father after he revealed Sterling's occupation to the mafia, causing him to be captured, roughed up, and interrogated by them. A truly stellar father figure \*cough cough\*
	+ Stella and Sterling Argentine: absent biological father. When Blithe did learn he was their father, years later when they were teenagers, he coldly sold Sterling out to the mob for money without batting an eye.
	+ Svarnna Halevy made a deal with him over a century ago which corrupted his soul, sending it her domain of Hell. She also was his GF until she found out he cheated on her with Zamfira. She left him with their infant daughter, Avarice.
	+ Avarice Hoard: absent biological father pt. 2. Taking care of her was a hassle because of her tendency to burn things, even as an infant, so he made it Someone Else's Problem. He made a "charitable donation" to an orphanage in Khif Fasti and left Avarice there.
* Occupation: Works in "import/export". Owner of "Hoard Holdings".
* Social class (poor, working class, wealthy): wealthy, works in import/export and definitely breaks the law doing it
* Where do they live? Mansion in Niqamui
* Background: A very successful business rival of Barret Dillahunt. Made his early fortune in mushroom trade and eventually diversified into fisheries, billiards tables, cuckoo clocks and a number of taxi companies. Their rivalry had been raging for decades until the death of Barret. Originally it began as a bidding war over a small logging company. Blithe was not particularly interested in the company itself, but wanted to make a name for himself by picking a fight with the near legendary figure of Barrel Dillahunt.
* List of Adventures:
	+ Missives From A Corpse
	+ Pop Fiction: Blithe invested in Aegis Industries.
	+ Winter in July: Blithe sold out his own biological son to Don Ravioli (Don wanted him for torture style questioning), which is how he met and angered his biological daughter Stella all in one go.
	+ A Whale Of A Tale: Blithe's biological daughter Stella stole back some stolen and additional goods from his warehouse because she was mad at him for abandoning her and her brother and her mom.
	+ Kaern: The Worldbreaker
	+ Bloodletting It Go: Ava is his favorite offspring because he noticed she's been going around saving his life. He has willed all of his personal belongings to her, including Hoard Holdings and its shares in Consent Creamery.
