When they visit you know that they have something you need for a price you can’t refuse
Being born in a poor family Cynic often experienced the disdain of others, their family was often mistreated and exploited by those better than them, asking for favors with little to no pay. Unfortunately, due to their situation Cynic often did not have the option of refusal and the people around them knew that.
Growing up Cynic wanted to escape their situation and make sure people always paid a fair price regardless of their social standing, to reach their goal Cynic ended up starting their own trading company, unfortunately due to this philosophy their trading company never had the change to properly take off, the fact that they refused to ask more for a product than what it was worth meant that the company never had the funds to really grow.
One day while on a regular work trip near the edge of the explored universe, Cynic made a discovery that would change their future forever, they discovered an unknown planet that contained an invaluable material: sync crystals.
Now with proper leverage Cynic finally managed to build up their trading empire, making sure to keep their discovery hidden from prying eyes.
Now with a stable income Cynic quickly became known among the trading circles, not because of the products they sold but the way they sold it: always a fair price always at the right time. When they visit you know that they have something you need for a price you can’t refuse earning them the nickname of “devil’s merchant”.
Over time Cynic seemed to slowly disappear out of the trading circle until only their legend was left.
