Amon Torbid

Known as the "Apple Monger" by the residents of Heimili, Amon Torbid grew up in a poor farming village fifty miles from the capitol. When the Deva Council took charge of Friyhor, 12-year-old Amon volunteered to go to the city to take on an apprenticeship. He left the farm with no possessions except for the clothes on his back and a sack of apples his mother gave him.

He grew up working in the General Goods store, which he inherited after the childless owner died when Amon was 22. The store began to fall on hard times, leading Amon to seek less scrupulous ways of making income. Working with some cutpurses in the Heimili Slums, he amassed stockpiles of stolen goods, which he eventually took to selling overseas. Into Heimili, he smuggled jars of valuable fragrences, as well as weapons the Deva had prohibited.

Despite some brushes with the law, bribes and careful alibis kept Amon above the law until a run-in with the newly formed Vigilum when he was 66. The group cornered him in his store and forced him to lead them to a stolen Power Stone, which was being bartered for in his cellar. Amon was shot and killed by the Elven Archer seeking to purchase the stone during the resulting scuffle.

Personality
Ambitious even as a child, Amon grew up wanting to move to the big city he had always heard about. He eagerly took to his apprenticeship, eventually growing to think of the owner as a father. He tried to make an honest living when he inherited the store, but desperation and desire to not let his "father" down led him to lead a life of crime. By the time of his death, he was one of the wealthiest men in town, but keeping a kind demeanor to his legitimate customers at every turn.
