Joren "Two-Coins" Dalwick

Name: Joren “Two-Coins” Dalwick
Race: Halfling (Lightfoot)
Role: Street Vendor & Information Broker
Age: 37
Appearance: Joren Dalwick is a halfling with lively brown eyes and a perpetual smirk that suggests he knows more than he lets on. His dusty brown hair is always messy, and strands fall into his face as he chatters away with customers. His fingers are quick and nimble, constantly tossing a coin, adjusting his wares, or (some suspect) picking a pocket.

He wears a simple but well-maintained tunic and vest, with a brightly patterned scarf tied loosely around his neck. His travel-stained trousers and scuffed leather boots suggest he’s no stranger to the road. His wooden cart, painted in fading red and gold, smells of cinnamon, roasted almonds, and honeyed apples, though some say the true goods he offers are the whispered secrets beneath the surface.

Backstory

Joren Dalwick earned the nickname “Two-Coins” because, as he likes to say, "I never met a deal I couldn’t double." Born in a halfling caravan, he learned early that a sharp tongue and a quick hand could get you far. Though his family traveled the trade roads, Joren found city life far more appealing—so he stayed behind, setting up his modest but profitable street stall.

At first, he sold only nuts, fruit, and the occasional baked good. But over time, he realized people were willing to pay far more for information than they were for a bag of almonds. With a friendly ear and a sharp memory, Joren began trading in rumors—listening to drunken sailors, nervous nobles, and wandering adventurers alike. He now knows nearly everything worth knowing about the city, from which merchant is cheating his customers to who hired an assassin last week.
