Ruel Stroud, the big-hearted skinflint

Ruel Stroud is an Enutrof and, being an Enutrof, he can't keep his mind off treasure. But Ruel has been around the block as well - he has dabbled in bounty-hunting, Gobball coaching, shop keeping, tour guiding. As long as it involves chatting and cheating, Ruel can do it, but what he loves most is filling his pockets with gold and Kamas. Has he succeeded in doing this? Well, looking at his second-hand rags and beggar's manners I think it's quite clear that he's failed miserably. Ruel has more spunk than most kids do when they're a fifth of his age, and his sense of humor hasn't changed a bit through the long, tough decades. In spite of what you might think by looking at him, Ruel Stroud does not have one foot in the grave... unless he thinks the grave in question might be hiding a rich corpse! Ruel and Alibert were fellow bounty-hunters for ten years and although their paths have led them apart, they are still good friends.
