Yusuf bin-Fouad is a merchant prince of Chiarascuro and a loyal retainer of the Tri-Kahn. He rode with the Tri-Kahn when they were youths, raiding caravans and tweaking the noses of the Realm garrison. He has grown old, fat, and powerful along with the Tri-Kahn. His trading empire and close relationship with the Tri-Kahn provides him with a lofty, legitimate place in the world, but he still harbors a youthful love of mischief which keeps him involved with smuggling, piracy, and dalliances with the Anathema. He also provides a discreet connection to the Tri-Kahn, as well as a discreet method by which the Tri-Kahn can act in the world.
