Mentality

Personal history

Ricos made a name for himself in the Andran Empire for braving the Pits of Wrath to deliver a noble's last will and testament to their family despite pursuit by a team of assassins. While his fame helped him find freelance courier work, he was eventually captured by the Andran Empire in connection with smuggling.
 
Owing to his fame and skill, the empire offered an alternative to prison: delivering weapons to isolated Andran espionage operations in neighbouring countries as part of their routine logistics network. As part of a small team, Ricos completed a number of associated missions to disrupt enemy supply operations and gather information (as well as smuggling weapons), and gained a good deal of wealth on the side due to looting from operational locations. Once satisfying his debt to the empire, he was recognized for his service and offered a position as local spymaster in Haversworth, which he accepted for a healthy salary, a relaxed workload, and a blind eye to the occasional smuggling.
 
He has for the past 5 years lived just outside Haversworth, and enjoys tending to his coffee plants and dog when not working.
