Background
- The family business was in near-ruin due to rival scheming until he took over and, with a firm hand, plucked it out of the muck, restoring it to its former success. At the same time, he clawed his way up the Guild's social ladder to a place of dominance.
 
Current
- Primary: Recently elected to a (new?) term as mayor, Offus is fully committed to the process of "rearranging the furniture"—stamping out his opposition and putting his allies in useful places.
 - Secondary: His family grocer business is mired and stagnant, and Offus is blind to the fact that his overly-aggressive/protective focus on external threats to his family's interests has caused him to neglect the internal maintenance of both.
