Inspiration: Liagh is based obviously on Gaelic mythology (SEE: The Ulster Cycle), but his job is based on the stereotype of the cunning Middle Eastern merchant as perceived by Medieval Europeans. He's a squish of ideas, and I'm pretty happy with the way he turned out. He's a social monster (in more ways than one), but has much more bark than bite when it comes to getting physical.
Liagh Noíchride, Master of the Nine-Hearts Souq
Concept
Liagh Noíchride is Fomoire, an ancient race of semi-divine giants nearly destroyed in a forgotten cataclysm, and a merchant of mysterious means, dealing in all manner of arcane wares.
Common Traits
Massive [Dt MoB p 338], Gift of Babel [Dt MoB p 327], The Blood of Gods Flows in My Veins [Dt], Disturbingly Beautiful [Dt], The Evil Eye [Dt]
Traits
Missing Eye [Dt CB p 282], Careful [Char], Lanky [Char], Gifted [Dt CB p 161]
The Evil Eye Dt
The Evil Eye is discolored and unnerving. If the Fomoire can make eye contact with a victim, then any Intimidation tests the Fomoire makes are open-ended.
The Blood of Gods Flows in My Veins Dt
Fomoire are ageless and immune to disease or illness. While they have the form of Men, they are a perfected incarnation. Fomoire use the Perfect Biped Body Type, the 4x Speed Multiplier, and their blood is not red, but a quick-flowing mercury.
