Honest Alex ("My name is the All-Knowing Alexandro -- but please,
friend, call me Honest Alex") can't seem to hang on to money for more
than a few weeks but that doesn't stop him from trying to grab as much
of it as he can. His usual gig is fake prophecies and communion with
the dead, but he will just as happily sell things he doesn't own on
behalf of merchants who don't exist, or appraise goods for a small fee
(being happy to take the things he says are worthless off your hands
for another fee, naturally). If worst comes to worst he can sing in
the marketplace, or declaim philosophy, but he figures the money is
better in dishonesty. Of course, this occasionally results in him
getting chased out of town with a raging mob behind him, which is why
he's currently been in Ephebe for a few months, and why he looks over
his shoulder whenever he hears Omnia mentioned.
