A charming merchant-lord who always has a profitable solution. Midas corrupts through opportunity, showing rulers how to squeeze more wealth from their lands and people. He turns leaders into hoarders who prioritize gold over subjects’ welfare, ultimately destabilizing their realms through exploitation.
Physical Appearance: Appears well-groomed and prosperous, though gold dust seems perpetually caught in his hair and beard no matter how carefully he prepares himself. His eyes gleam like polished coins, shifting from amber to gold depending on the light and his mood. Rings adorn every finger, some digging into his slightly plump hands with the weight of accumulated wealth. His expensive clothing fits slightly tight, as if he’s outgrown his wardrobe or refuses to acknowledge his expanding comfort. He wears a practiced merchant’s smile that never quite reaches those calculating eyes, and he carries the faint scent of metal and parchment wherever he goes.
