— Chapman

Chapman was a merchant who managed an armor shop in the town of Antei. His interactions with customers were often contentious, marked by his sharp tongue, leading to frequent arguments and a damaged reputation for his store.

Behind his bitterness lay a deep frustration with his perceived lack of usefulness to the growing rebel cause throughout the Scarlet Moon Empire. When the Toran Liberation Army arrived in Antei, Chapman seized the opportunity and joined them, driven by righteous anger.

Upon becoming a member of the Liberation Army, Chapman established an armor shop within Toran Castle, offering the finest armor available at all times. His straightforward nature was evident as he never hesitated to demand payment for his products and services, even from his comrades in the fight for freedom.

Following the conclusion of the Gate Rune War, Chapman decided to transition away from the armor business entirely. He ventured into the field of entertainment and opened a theatre, which proved to be a resounding success.

-[[File:Chapman Customer Service.png|thumb|left|220px|I gotta pay? Why I aughta...!]]Chapman was a merchant who ran an armor store in the town of [[Antei]]. He had a sharp tongue that frequently led him to argue and cause trouble with his customers on an almost daily basis. However, there was a reason behind his bitterness. It was because he felt a deep frustration with himself for not being of any use to the [[Toran Liberation Army]].
-When the Liberation Army visited Antei, Chapman saw his chance and joined them in a characteristic flurry of righteous anger. He would go on to open an armor shop at [[Toran Castle]], making the finest armor available at all times. His straight-forward nature meant that he never had any problem insisting on payment for his efforts, however.
