Name: Duarte
Gender: Male
Age: About 55
Rank: Caminar jeweler
Black-eyed and black-haired, this sun-browned Caminar man has maintained his good looks well into middle age. Standing a bit more than six feet, he dresses in a manner less colorful than many of his brethren, favoring black and white for fabrics. They set off jewelry well, and Duarte always wears jewelry: heavy chains upon his chest, thick rings on his thumbs, and glittering jewel studs subtle in the lobes of both ears.
Duarte is flirtatious, friendly and outgoing - at least so much as his work requires. A consummate salesman, he flatters men and women, riders and holdfolk, rich and poor alike with one goal in mind: trade them trinkets for marks, preferably at a comfortable profit.
His taste in jewelry is excellent as a result of practice more than art - the latter is more the domain of his son, Saliro - but he is known for making sleek and weighty pieces particularly well-suited to the adornment of stately Holder women and Caminar men.
Duarte's life has been normal, so much as any Caminar's is. The lone exception is in his having made a bit of a spectacle of himself at the recent annual Caminar gather held in Telgar Weyr's bowl, where the jeweler greeted with great familiarity a strange plantado woman and engaged her and some customers in a very strange, uncharacteristically existential conversation. The jeweler wound up gifting the strange woman a pair of pearl earrings and, at her request, giving away a pricey amber pendant and chain to the candidate Genet as well.
There are now three rumors among the Caminar about Duarte: first, that he's losing his mind as he ages; second, that he's been carrying on a secret affair for turns, maybe decades; and third - the one everyone can agree upon - that his son is very likely to have primary charge of their business any day now.
