A slender, charismatic man; Verrell is known to wander the city attempting to lure travelers into his shop.

Verrell was born in the eastern side of Locke in a small riverside village. The son of a very well off landlord and the heiress to an extremely successful log processing company; Verrell spent his entire young life in the lap of luxury. Though at the age of 17 he was disowned by his parents for refusing to marry for reasons of "personal taste" in partners.

Young, homeless, and with no discernible skills; Verrell wandered from town to town, working as a prostitute. Although very handsome, his biggest appeal was always his ability to approach a total stranger, begin talking, and make them feel like they're childhood friends. He used this charisma to acquire a dedicated customer base, who tipped him extremely well. After saving a considerable amount of money, he was able to buy a home in Cardend.

It was when a customer gifted him with an enchanted charm that Verrell found his love and passion for magical items. He was able to tap into the potential of magic items to understand their abilities, history, and value just by attuning to them. He spent the next 5 years building his business, amassing a respectable collection of magical items, and opening his shop, finally being able to end his life in sex work. This was very liberating to Verrell who longed to be center stage, and not have to do his work in the shadowy cover of night.

These days, he sells a variety of trinkets, weapons, rings, and potions. He is also known to buy items off travelers, though many later complain that when they haggle they seem to fall into a haze, and barely seem to remember how they came to agree to the price they did. This has left him with a turbulent reputation on top of the gossip about his former profession, which is why most of his business is based off of new travelers passing through Cardend.

While not at his shop, Verrell is known for traveling all across the continent selling and buying wares.
