Zellatt van Epitch was born in a mid-sized trading town, the second son of a modest Heartlander merchant family. They dealt in printing, textiles, and recordkeeping. His father had taught him at a very young age that the company was really a façade and that it was crucial to know who owed whom and why.
His older brother inherited the peace and respect of the family. Zellatt didn't. While Zellatt saw a ceiling, his brother envisaged him managing nobles' finances in the future. From a young age, he saw the people who passed through his father's office, including minor lords, envoys, and stewards. He discovered exactly how their kind behaved.
