Amer Terrante

A conflicted man, Ameranth (Amer) Terrante was torn between the two halves of his family. In many respects he had the mind of a merchant, connecting people and goods to ensure his own wealth. On the other hand he descended into the dark thuggery of the Terrante family. He got involved with the vulfgrau_trading_house and its secret rebellion against the Kingdom of Dakar.

Amer was killed by nine (9) True Elves that came together and tore his spirit from its mortal body. The spirit is not chained to Tminir Tower for all time.

Amer spent his childhood in Libero growing up among abundant relatives of all ages and the many houses of the Erasmus and Terrante families. He learned his sums and letters quickly, displaying an inquisitive disposition to his tutors. He fostered in Bornheim on two different occasions, staying with Nathan Warldson, a distant relation, for a season or two. In addition, he spent over a year while an adolescent on a far-ranging ship and caravan trade circuit learning firsthand the way business happens. He spent as much of his free time as he could during these travels watching various craftsman engrossed in the details of their labor, carefully listening to academic lectures in far-flung universities, borrowing and reading books from all over Miranda and learning to quickly make friends with everyone he engaged in conversation. After he returned to Libero, Amer began studying at Arakhova University, where he excelled at rhetoric, and swiftly took a law degree a few years later.

Amer is currently involved overseeing the household’s interests in Bornheim, along with a modest household of his Erasmus and Terrante relatives and retainers. Amer’s local expertise, contacts, friends, and relations make him a vital ingredient for the family's interests and goals. His skill as a go-between has elevated his household rank despite his relatively young age. Only the head of his local household, Cristobal Erasmus, is paramount.

Despite this, his elder great-uncle, Tycho Terrante, exerts an equally compelling influence over Cristobol Erasmus. While in Bornheim, Amer is trying to prevent the Terrante’s criminal enterprises from starting up locally, and thus causing any long-range trouble. Because he is more intimate with the Terrante side of his family, he is wary of creating any inter-household splits, feuds, or divisiveness. His curbing of their activities must be circumspect, as well as properly respectful of Tycho. He has no desire to offer any personal insult to the clan that knows him as intimately as he knows them.

Amer spends a great amount of time watching and recording how his merchant prince relatives implement their policies. While residing in Bornheim, he is experimenting and emulating these civics lessons. Professionally, he issues letters or credit, provides reasonable, small-secured loans, notarizes documents, petitions the courts, and offers legal consul.

In Y462 Amer was killed when nine (9) True Elves arrived in Bornheim. Each one was the guardian of the nine towers that maintained the ward around the demons trapped under Tminir Tower. He had abused the power of the spell that warded the tower and committed crimes against his companions. Mortal authorities already planned to execute him when the elves appeared and destroyed him.

His spirit is now forever bound to the tower. He shall suffer until the end of time.
