the Lyrium Deal - Aderik Alticaen

[nonsibi]

[The brief provided by the Inquisition has this to say about Aderik Alticaen, the agent of Alticaen house: young, heir to his house, ambitious and creative, which means he's a tough sell but open to restructuring the deal if the Inquisition can make it seem worthwhile. Interested in wider affairs and expanding the family's reach. He's capable of persuading his mother to agree with his choices.

Aderik himself is found in a small candlelit chamber strewn with books, sheaves of parchment, and half-rolled maps with their corners weighed down by carved stone paperweights. He does not look up when they enter the room, but continues to read whatever book his reading, his head bent over the tome, so close his nose is nearly touching the page. He is using his thick finger as a guide, following along with the text--so they'll need to get his attention as well as his interest.]
