A friendly local clothing merchant/wholesaler who is easily confused on the price of things. Occasional employer of Ser Kenrick.
Background
- Barlowe had to wrest control of the family, and the family business, from his drunken-sot of a father, and brought them both to success and prominence.
Family
Current
- Primary: Barlowe's bumbling uncle has gotten himself into legal trouble (again), being sued for debts he can't possibly pay, and the family is in a bit of a crisis over how to sort him out.
- Secondary: An otherwise-lucrative business deal is hung up, due to city laws passed unexpectedly, leaving Barlowe's business on the hook without hope of the quick profit they were expecting.
Traits
Gift for Grandiosity; Talker; Expert Merchant; Expert in Cloth and Textiles
Notes
- Always hungry
- Home in the Garden District of the Capital; warehouse(s) in the Trades District—"Grand Barlowe Hall," impressive city mansion, if a bit less than the name suggests
