Mala Boromar d’Jorasco (N female halfling expert 4) is an unmarked heir of House Jorasco, and her marriage to Saidan has formed important ties between the crime lord and the healers of Sharn. Jorasco healers help Boromar halflings free of charge, with the expectation that Saidan will reimburse them for their efforts; this emergency assistance has saved the lives of many Boromars ambushed and left for dead by Daask brigands.
The Boromar Clan keeps countless secrets, both its own and those it uses as leverage to blackmail its enemies. One well-kept secret is Mala's ever rowing desire to make the Boromar Clan completely legitimate. Mala and her daughter both see a golden opportunity to take the clan into such bold new enterprises as political ascendancy or economic domination. They view the family's criminality as a relic of its early rise to power holding them back from greater pursuits (and unimaginable wealth and status). Saiden completely disagrees, seeing the clan's reputation as a fearsome syndicate as yet another "face" of the family, used to potent effect against those who would stand in its way. Behind closed the doors, the Boromars' rows on this issue are more than a little heated.
