Barrett Bel Iblis

I'll fill out the application form when I have a bit more time! Also, in this campaign I think some social overlap is not bad - multiple people could have some good social skills since that will be our ticket to get out of trouble, I think… that, or running quickly. Good cop/bad cop can work well.

Human gambler, clever scam artist visionary entrepeneur, negotiator extraordinaire.

Background: Barrett Bel Iblis is an “entrepeneur” - that is, a man with vision, a quick tongue, and quick fingers who loves to cheat dishonest people, since they're much easier to con than the honest. Barrett has an honest face and an honest handshake, and looks his marks in the eye as he tricks them while they think they are cheating him.

But the last con did not go well, losing everything but the catch vest on his back, and he is on the run until he can gather enough cash to pay off a crime lord.

Barrett recently managed to win some intel at sabacc match - there is a courier ship taking on new crew, and the pay is rumoured to be substantial. The winnings also included an illegal loaded chance cube - sometimes Lady Luck needs a helping hand when the odds are against you.

Obligation: Debt - Barrett's last con as a complete failure; his attempt to pawn off cheap imitation artifacts to a crime lord was ill-advised, and he barely managed to escape with his life. But if he can just score on the next job…

Good thing he won that sabacc match; the debt collectors are not far behind him.

Motivation: Drive - The Game. Barrett just can't help himself; he is only truly alive when the stakes are high, the idea is ridiculous, and the dice are rolling in his head.
