Mental characteristics
Personal history
Nestor was born in Rora and educated at the Great Roran College of the Mystic Arts. While he did not excel as a wizard, he did study a variety of intellectual topids including economics and engineering. He graduated as a full wizard, but rarely uses the skills. After graduating, he was recruited by the Roran Spy Master as an agent, training for two years with the Roran spies to get rid of his accent and learn spycraft.
As a spy, Nestor does not actively go on missions, but acts as an informant, gathering information wherever he goes and passing it on to Aillianna Rora when he arrives in Grayton's Lot. His ability to acquire information in general conversation is noteworthy, and he tends to pass along all kinds of juicy gossip, whether appropriate or not.
Education
At the Great Roran College of the Mystic Arts, Nestor studied as a wizard, passing the program, but he took many other courses of study along the way including economics, engineering, languages, math, history, music, and etiquette. He excelled in most of his classes, but magic was a struggle for him much of the time.
Employment
Trade is of immense importance in Karenth, as resources are spread throughout the world, and no city is advanced enough to be self sufficient yet. Nestor owns and operates a fleet of 12 ships that he sails with, sometimes sending 2 or three of them out for various reasons, such as gathering food or picking up or dropping off cargo at a small port. The fleet is very wealthy, but much of the actual wealth is maintained in Rora for safe keeping. However, some of the money is kept with the fleet for trade or when needed for repairs, or to purchase cargo when no trade goods are needed by a source location.
The fleet trades throughout the Known World and will stop at any port for a night when possible to resupply and gather news to pass on to the spymasters.
