Lenaron's Curios: Lenaron's is a very classy-looking, crammed-with-stock curio shop near the main market plaza. Almost anything MIGHT be found here. In the back room, Lenaron operates as a fence, but he's picky about what he accepts and who he accepts it from. Readily identifiable loot of local origin is either not accepted or bought for practically nothing, but for other stuff he gives a fair, though low, price. Lenaron has the reputation among thieves for being absolutely straight--he has never betrayed a thief, and one who tried to rat on him in return for a lighter sentence died suddenly and mysteriously in jail.

Owner: Lenaron ten Belimin, Adantri, 6', slim and aristocratic looking. His long black hair is worn braided and wound around his head under a midnight-blue beret with a long gold tassel; his eyes are gray. He normally dresses in loose pants of some dark color, slippers, a long-sleeved shirt of rose silk, a knee-length vest of embroidered dark blue, and an over-jacket of crimson brocade as long as the vest and having very wide sleeves. He has Charlie-Chan mustaches (long and thin and drooping to his chest), and his fingernails, which are about an inch and a half long, are lacquered dark blue. (They are also reinforced, making them functionally claws.) Everyone assumes that Lenaron is a nobleman from, probably, Miroi Chang, who has fallen on hard times, and he encourages that impression. He is actually an independent agent of high rank for the Clawmoon; he reports directly to the Master and none of the regular Clawmoon members in Simtakka know about him.
