Keeleno Lathenar, the proprietor of Otari Market, is a grim and bitter man. A werewolf named Jaul Mezmin
mauled his wife, Ayla, to death 30 years ago. Keeleno has never forgotten nor forgiven this attack, and he
believes against all odds that Jaul has evaded justice and is alive and well. Keeleno pays handsomely for wolf pelts and he hopes to one day acquire the skin of his wife's killer.
