Gray Merchant of Asphodel (Gary)

Source: Theros Bestiary TBVXXII

The gray merchant of Asphodel, often referred to as “Gary”, is a Returned merchant. It buys goods from one polis at low prices and sells them in another polis at highway-robbery prices. At the end of the day, the merchant begins its journey back to Asphodel, with its sacks of gold slung over its shoulder.

Due to its now-acharismatic disposition, it couldn’t care less that there’s a hole in its sack and that the money it worked all day to con falls on the ground behind it. Highway bandits camp out along the road to Asphodel, allowing the merchant to pass only because doing so ensures the stream of income continues.
