Character
General
Verad Bellveil is a terrible Duskwight and a source of shame and irritation to everyone who knows him.
Appearance
Inasmuch as an elezen can be "grizzled," Verad fits the bill, with a heavy beard and a worn face. His hair is white, with a few desperate holdouts of black strands fighting a guerilla battle against the albino tide at its tips.
He tends to wear loose clothing that helps with the heat of Thanalan, where he conducts most of his business.
Behavior
A braggart, a blowhard, and a man who plays at being a wit, Verad spends much of his time hawking his wares - his so-called "dubious goods" - on the streets of Ul'dah. He gathers cast-off and useless materials from other craftsmen, or outright scavenges them from the wilderness when necessary, and sells them at negligible prices to any interested buyer. Verad considers himself an honest merchant, and prides himself on making sure anybody who purchases from him knows that they are buying junk.
Combat
General
Verad favors a bow on the grounds that when he misses his shot he will at least have a head-start on his now-enraged target. He also favors keeping other people between he and danger, begging, or simply not being in a fight at all.

Rumors
Common Rumors
- Verad's full name is etymologically Hyuran, so he's probably hiding his real name.
- Some of the "dubious goods" he sells turn out to be important to the buyer.
- He is one of the greatest lovers of Eorzea, and dozens of people from the Sultana down have enjoyed his company. Or so he says. Frequently.
Moderate Rumors
- He is clearly concealing a dark and tragic past with his affected demeanor.
- He was at the Plains of Cartenau, and if he'd gotten just a bit closer to the Garlean front they could have won the thing. Or so he says. Infrequently.
- He keeps a special stock of regular, non-dubious items for regular customers.
Rare Rumors
- "Bellveil" is probably a Duskwight clan or an anagram of one.
- He says "dubious" so often that he must be under some sort of curse. What terrible fate could transpire if he were prevented from doing so?
- He was an investor in the Silver Bazaar, and its failure is what has led him to his current state.
