The man was older, perhaps in his thirties, and had spent most of the meeting quietly listening.
His name was Marcus Von. He wasn't particularly strong either, but that wasn't why Keane had chosen him.
From what he understood, Marcus had connections. Merchants, caravan leaders, guild contacts, independent adventurers, dated news from far and wide… He knew what was happening outside Valewind, and more importantly, he knew who to ask when something important was needed.
Keane had originally considered expanding his operations outside the city, though after thinking about it, he realized there was little reason to rush, especially with the new knowledge he learned the previous day.
In terms of adventuring, Valewind already had enough gates to keep him occupied, which was also why it was such a hub.
For now, though, if an opportunity appeared somewhere else, he would at least be able to hear about it before everyone else did.
