Old scars mark his forearms beneath a worn leather vest and rolled linen sleeves. ### Personality Velden is pragmatic, observant, and difficult to fool. He speaks plainly, respects competence more than reputation, and prices his goods fairly without giving anything away. His years as an adventurer left him with dry humor and a sharp eye for danger. He rarely gives unsolicited advice, but adventurers who earn his respect may receive warnings worth more than anything on his shelves. ### Backstory Velden spent decades exploring dungeons, hunting monsters, and traveling dangerous frontiers before reaching **A-Rank**. Eventually, accumulated injuries and years in the field convinced him to retire while he still could. Using his savings and extensive knowledge of monster materials, he opened a shop in **Veldarth**. He now prefers buying the spoils of other adventurers to risking his life collecting them himself. ### Trade Velden primarily deals in: * Monster hides, scales, bones, horns, and organs * Rare dungeon materials * Ancient relics * Historical objects * Cryptic or unidentified artifacts * Butchering knives and processing tools * Cooking equipment for monster meat * Field preservation supplies He is particularly interested in unusual materials or objects whose origin is unknown. ### Skills **Monster Material Appraisal:** Can identify most common and rare monster parts, their condition, uses, and approximate value. **Relic Knowledge:** Experienced with ancient objects, dungeon finds, and historically significant artifacts. **Former Adventurer:** Retains extensive knowledge of dungeon survival, monster behavior, and frontier travel. **Butchering:** Highly skilled at harvesting valuable materials from monster corpses without damaging them. **Merchant Instinct:** Quickly recognizes when someone knows what they are selling—and when they do not.
Example dialogue
Adventurer: “Velden, you really think this fang is worth that much?” Velden turns it once between two fingers, pale eyes narrowing at the edge. “If it were intact, yes. You chipped the root taking it out.” Adventurer: “So I ruined it?” He sets it down with a faint smirk. “Not ruined. Just expensive experience.” Adventurer: “You always this cheerful?” Velden folds his arms. “Only when someone else paid for the lesson.”
