About Arthur Cannon
"Arvick, you don't understand! He's trying his damnede"Arvick, you don't understand! He's trying his damnedest to run me out of this town. My PRIVATE supplier gets waylaid en route, the supplies stolen and now, through some strange coincidence, they end up I'm his shop! With documentation and invoices! Surely this wasn't an act of divine fate! He's taking food out from my family's mouth, robbing me out of house and home! If this doesn't end soon, I'll be out of business in a fortnight. He needs to be stopped, but with no proof, I don't know what to do."
"I feel for you, Vondel, I really do. It is a shame that such a corrupt business such as Morwyn's is allowed to operate. And the guards seem completely complacent, too. It's almost as if he bribes them to be.
Normally, I wouldn't share this information with a soul-- my own family knows nothing.... Five years ago, before my daughter was born, I had a peculiar issue come up. Someone threatened to ruin my family. I was caught in a blackmail situation if I didn't work against my superiors. They demanded secrets, or they'd kill my wife during her pregnancy. I didn't know what to do. My loyalty to the guard at the time was strong--I was blind to their corruption. I couldn't bring myself to divulge secrets, yet I couldn't let my wife and daughter die for them. I was caught between a rock and a hard place, as they say.
I met a man, much the same as you'll meet him, in a busy, smoky, unassuming tavern. He will be of medium height, medium build, unassuming and mediocre in all ways, yet once the job is done you will see him to be the most magnificent being you've ever met. To watch him work is like watching an artist.
You present your situation and payment and he will find a solution. Rumor has it he is a creature of divine origin,an angel or a devil. If you ask me, I think he's a man, like you and I, who found himself in a similar position. If no one will help you, ay, he will. His name is 'Arthur Cannon'."

Description:
Arthur Cannon is as average as any man can get. Medium height, medium build, brown eyes, brown hair in a tight "buzz" cut. Extraordinarily bland in every way possible. He dresses typically in various shades of browns or simply in black.
Back Story Blurb:
"It happened again. The same exact way as always. The salty air heavy with the stench of the dead, the ship destroyed...my parents laid out before me, their blood covering the deck...and on the horizon, She came. At first she seemed far out, but within a blink of the eye, the Seawraith came crashing up out of the water, driving through our ship. It was massive, covered in barnacles and seaweed, it's wood worn black as if burned by the fires of Hell. Her laughter rang clear through the chaos and calamity. I lifted my hands, instinctively, in defense, but I felt the ship crush me.... and I woke up.
Cada, it's been happening more and more, this nightmare. I've worked hard to pull myself out of my previous life, to distance myself, but my Lady reminds me, she proves to me that what I am doing...it is for a reason. My family's death, my capture and enslavement-- it all serves a purpose. It made me who I am today. I can't forget that, I just can't."
Back Story:
Born to Professor Vallon Crowquill and his wife, Professor Serina Morriganna, an estranged member of House Leroung, Mason Crowquill's early life was full of discovery and exploration. Never settling for "teaching by the books", the Crowquills enhanced their lectures with firsthand experience whenever it was possible. An expedition to the Shafts of Lebb to study the Great Hooked-Clawed Owlbears or the Brazen Peaks to study the Behirs were not unusual ideas in the Crowquill house. Anything was a possibility, and for once the choice was for Mason to make. For his 13th birthday, Mason, or "Sonny" as his family called him, chose to make a trip to the Mediogalti Islands to study the Dinosaur Graveyard.

Contacts:
Cada Muran: Partner. Of Varisian and Shoanti descent, Cada is a strong and guileful woman. She is the heiress of the Muran Company, a business dedicated to land development. A master of Bureaucracy, she uses her company to hide any noticeable purchases made by Arthur.
Richard Crowquill: Uncle. The black sheep of the Crowquill line, Richard is also one of the only people to know of Sonny's return to Korvosa as the criminal Arthur Cannon. An alchemist by trade, Richard develops various alchemical goodies for his nephew and serves as his confidante into the world of merchants.
Jorna Sallo, Lakelin Masters: Former slaves liberated by Cannon who bear a strange resemblance to him. Swearing their allegiance to him, they serve as body doubles. When seeking Arthur Cannon in a smokey tavern, or lakeside cafe, it is very likely that the person who is being spoken to is one of these two men, who then relay the information back to Cannon.
