Personality:
Isaac is every bit the shrewd businessman that a black market salesman needs to be. He is known throughout the less savory parts of Wunderheim for his reliability and skill. He has a rebellious streak, which is what led him to his current profession. Those who have gotten onto his bad side find he is quick to take up his infamous lance, although...
A few mannerisms remain from the days of his high-class upbringing. He conducts himself with an air of elegance that makes him stand out from those outside the inner district. Those lucky enough to be on good terms with him find he's quite the pacifist, as he frequently moans about times he is forced to use force. So long as he's given the respect he believes he deserves, he is happy to return the favor.
Origin Stein:
Inner, though currently in 3rd/2nd
Biography:
Isaac was born to a noble family in the inner district. His family's high standings brought him close to the White Queen on many occasions as he grew, from banquets to parties to just playing in the castle gardens. Through these many meetings, Isaac grew to know the White Queen well, and his opinion of her formed quickly: He saw her as weak when she cried. He saw her as indecisive when she tried to treat all equally. He saw her generosity as a mask over her loneliness. He saw her single-mindedness as lacking the broad view necessary for leading.
Isaac did not like the White Queen, and thought her unfit to rule.
This led the young Isaac into a rebellious phase that got him and his family into a lot of trouble. Eventually his infamy convinced his family to disown him, and they droped him into the second district at the tender age of 12. Isaac refused to acknowledge the loss of his nobility, insisting on being referred to as "Sir Isaac" while living in the slums.
Isaac was taken in by a group involved in the black market at age 13. They taught him the ins and outs of procuring valuable objects for clients, including a number of runs to steal dragon eggs from their nests. At age 16 the merchant he procured goods for began to teach him the skills needed for fencing, such as finding clients, setting up trade locations, and negotiation tactics. It was during this time that he discovered his ability to confound others.
By age 21 Isaac had begun his own business in the black market, handling both the procurement and sale of illegal goods himself. Only one of his orders ever went unfulfilled, and that due to special circumstances. A client approached him and requested a peculiar stone and a number of research journals find their way out of the possession of an old man deep in the third district and into the client's hands. Isaac agreed (after more than doubling the client's price) and began his work as normal.
In the old man's home, things quickly became paranormal. The old man was bedridden when Isaac arrived and held the stone in his hands. After a short conversation, the man requested that Isaac protect the research and stone from thieves (despite Isaac being one himself), then promptly died. Upon reading the research, Isaac decided that it would be far more valuable to keep the stone and research for himself, thus reporting to his client that the goods had been destroyed. The research and stone, of course, served as the basis for Isaac's Spare Change.
Over the years, Isaac has suffered many betrayals. These, coupled with his Spare Change, led to the creation of his infamous lance, Bei. The lance was first created from bones and blood taken from the corpse of his first betrayer, but soon was reduced to the blood from each of those he killed with Bei. Using Spare Change, he keeps it with him at all times, wearing it beneath his clothes as what seem like bloody bandages wrapped around his chest.
Other:
Yes, he has a reason to work with the White Queen on this assignment, despite his dislike of her. A good order delivered by a bad leader remains a good order.
