Soren is prone to the headier vices and is essentially a coward when his own life is on the line, but his greatest pleasure is business, and business has made him strong.

Poetry and dead languages – urgh! Who cared about these trivial mind-wasters when there was an industrial revolution going on right outside his window? While his peers were studying arts that marked them as refined, Soren was studying business and technology, making connections and investments across Zestia. As a young man, he happened upon an inventor named Nikko Teslan who had fascinating ideas about the power of lighting, metal’s conductivity, and certain properties of xenon which would make traditional coal powered utilities practically obsolete. Within a few years, Garamond’s Spectacular Xenectricties were replacing coal-powered electrical generators across the city, providing light, warmth, and power to every corner of Zestia.

Soren had more power than he had ever had before, and his business showed no signs of declining.

There is a new product there, and Soren wants to have a hand in controlling it.
