Though he is nominally the head of the local Coinners, even Veltagan admits Nomodon holds all the power in Rohhev's merchant circles. Still, Veltagan is a shrewd, skilled merchant who owns and trades most of the non-noble-owned territory in the area. He is considered a difficult but fair boss by his employees, but those who buy from him find him unreasonable and predatory--though their only other option is the nobility, who do not sell land. Veltagan has a good relationship with Sir Hyfustan, despite the fact that neither likes the other's class.
