—  Gordon

Gordon was the sole founder of Gordon's Mercentile, his own trading company run out of Gregminster. Gordon became a wealthy trader within a generation, having experienced many ups and downs, but his true goal was to create "Gordon Group", a chain of trading concerns throughout the land.

When the task was complete, Gordon gladly bequeathed his store to his son, Coates, expecting him to maintain Gordon's Mercantile's high standards and success, and moved his business to Jowston.
