Akebono

Byakudan: How did Akebono earn his fortune, you ask? By peddling a variety of medicinal wares for all manner of purposes.
Byakudan: From what I heard, they were all remarkably effective and popular. He still enjoys a reputation as a premier source of alchemical goods.
Byakudan: Would that I had the coin to afford such luxurious potions and potables. His clientele spends in a visit what I earn in a month!

Keiten: I should be glad to speak of Master Akebono to you, albeit solely with regards to his character as a businessman.
Keiten: Like all who have risen to mercantile prominence, he has been at the center of rumor and intrigue. For every man who sings his praises, there is another who would curse his name.
Keiten: None will deny the efficacy of his medicines, which is to be expected given that he utilizes the finest ingredients from that birthplace of alchemy, Radz-at-Han. His satisfied customers are beyond counting.
Keiten: On the other hand, none can deny the exorbitant profits he has reaped by tightly controlling the supply of Hannish ingredients. Absent competition, he is free to dictate prices as he sees fit.
Keiten: Unfortunately, this has led many in desperate need of his miraculous medicines to spend their entire life savings, or seek assistance from disreputable moneylenders...
Keiten: His practices are, ultimately, wholly within the confines of the law. So, again─as a businessman, he is to be lauded for his success. But I will say nothing on his morals or ethics...or lack thereof.

    According to the investigation and witness statements, Godbert Manderville had been administered doses of Dewprism by a medicine merchant Akebono and a representative of the Hannish alchemy company, the Sahjattra Concern, Jubraca.
    Akebono has issued commands of financial cooperation to Godbert Manderville and in confrontation with the Warrior Of Light has commanded Godbert Manderville to attack the aforementioned and their companions.
    After Godbert returned to his senses, Jubraca resisted arrest and has been temporarily unaccounted for, before being returned to the authorities. He and his accomplice, Akebono, have been detained by the Radiant Host.
    Punishment and remuneration of the damages caused by Akebono as a citizen of foreign state remain a dispute with the shogunate...
