Talosa is a handsome young elf with a checkered career in crime and treachery. He is exceptionally slight and graceful, even for an elf, and possesses a sharp wit and even sharper tongue. Talosa is the Senior Agent for The Trading Company, an organization that recruits mercenaries of any quality and sells soldiers and weapons to any buyer. The Trading Company maintains its own small fleet of ships. Talosa handles the mercantile end, buying weapons and armor. Other agents beneath him recruit raw amateurs, fit them out, and send them into bloody wars. Most other mercenaries consider The Trading Company to be a blot on their profession.
