Aaron the Wanderer

Overview
Aaron is a wandering merchant who travels from town to town, selling and buying curiosities, weaponry, fabrics and spices.

He travels with his wife, Anita, on their loot filled wagon. The young couple met when Aaron hired Anita as a sword for sale to assist him on a journey through a road next to a bandit camp. They never separated ever since.

Aaron occasionally visits Lanren to buy salt and salted meat for the rest of the journey and sell whatever he can. However, he mostly gets to sell them spices since the people of Lanren can't get their land to grow anything but roots like carrots, beetroots and potatoes, and the taste gets bland without any flavoring.

Backstory
Aaron had a pretty ordinary childhood in a far away village, his mother raised him and his father was a traveling merchant. Once every week or two, his father would return for a day to enjoy a time with his family and leave them the money he earned in his travels.

Aaron always liked to see the items and riches his father brought home from his travels, and was eager to leave the borders of his home village and experience the wide world to which his father would leave for so long. He wished to join his father, but was denied by both his parents. "The outside world is no place for a child", they said.

Years passed and one day, Aaron's father returned home sick. Aching and exhausted, he stumbled to his bed - a plague has run deep in his body, and black veins appeared on his legs. This was his last travel. Now, with no man to feed the family, Aaron was the only one capable of selling the riches kept in his father's wagon. It was on his shoulders to earn money for the family and cleansing potions for his father, before the plague spreads too wide.

Aaron, only seventeen at the time, had to head out the wondrous world he never knew to save his father from a terrible sickness. Sometimes, Aaron regrets wishing leaving the village.
