History

R, really??? You're so kind!!! It must be fate!!! I'm so lucky!!!!!

—  Hans
Two River City, land of free enterprise?

As the second eldest son in his business-owning family, Hans did not receive a good inheritance from his family and so traveled all the way from the Zexen Federation, far west of the Dunan region in order to open a store. He managed to gather the money to do so from his own peddling as well as loans from accquaintences.

Just as he was about to make a name for himself in the City-State of Jowston, he was caught up in the Dunan Unification War. Upon arriving in Two River City, Hans discovered that the city already had an armor store and was at his wit's end.

Luckily, the leader of the New State Army happened upon the armorer at the Green Leaf Inn and gave him the chance to open his own store. Hans was overjoyed at the prospect of having a built-in consumer base for his armor and readily joined, even being willing to pay large amounts of money for the opportunity.

His armor shop became extremely well known for its wide selection of goods and became very popular. Although he had just enough money to establish himself in Jowston, he had also saved up an impressive amount of potch, although it was unknown where he kept it.

He remained at the New State Army Headquarters following the Dunan Unification War, continuing to run his armory there.
