Backstory

Quinn Talasar Threed was born amid the intricate web of traders and merchants nestled within the enigmatic Varnak Hollow Bazaar of Verokha. He is the presumptive heir to the legacy of 'Threed's Wonder Emporium,' though that inheritance is currently more spiritual than material. Raised by his father, Malcor Threed—an influential trader whose fortunes were built on supplanting relics from Palloma’s esoteric past—Quinn’s upbringing was a tapestry woven with tales of high ambition and ultimate fall. His father's fervor to ascend the socio-economic ladder, seeking to join the Trade Constellation's elite inner circle, consumed him.

This ambition, however, sowed seeds of self-destruction. Malcor became entrapped in a web of addiction to euphoria-inducing sigbeline—a narcotic renowned among Verokha traders for both its allure and its tenacity. By the age of 16, Quinn had watched his father's empire crumble, the family slipping from their once-gilded position into a precarious balance of subsistence. The family stall was sold off to pay debts, and the 'Threed' name became a punchline among the bazaar's elite.

Yet, against the backdrop of decline, Quinn emerged as a resourceful young man molded by desperation and determination. He spent decades scraping by as a 'tech-diver,' personally venturing into the dangerous, jagged canyons of Felo to recover what others would not. Now 50, he has harnessed his aptitude for negotiation and hawking discreet technological relics beneath the towering black obelisk's supervision to painstakingly rebuild his family's name. While many traders at the Varnak Hollow replicate age-old haggling trades, Quinn exhibits a cunning aptitude for adapting ancient technology, often acquiring these artifacts covertly through alliances with rogue technocrats from Verokha Prime. He operates a modest but high-quality stall, fueled by a bitter desire to look down upon those who laughed at his father's ruin.
