Appraiser

Appraisers (鑑定師, Kantei-shi) are folk who appraise antiques and murals whose value and name are unknown to amateurs. It is a common profession in the Suikoden series.

During the Gate Rune War, Jabba would put his observational eye to use for the Toran Liberation Army, judging the value of found items at Toran Castle. Lebrante, meanwhile, was the resident appraiser at New State Army Headquarters during the Dunan Unification War.

Having such a person on hand was vital for those who wished to make potch through the trading of antiques. If only avoided the use of an appraiser they could inadvertently end up selling valuable items at a steep discount.
