Village Negotiator # 2 (illustrated by Max Rugers)

In the Desire story in Endless Nights, Kara was in love with the son of the chief of the village.

The Chief and a group of village elders tried to negotiate grazing rights, for amber and for the ransom of prisoners between their tribe and the folk from across the river, but negotiations went badly and ended with the death of the village chief.

This man is one of the village negotiators.

This man appeared in The Desire story from Endless Nights on page 6 in panel 4.

Max did a fantastic job with this portrait. I really like the line work on his face is incredible and it helps show his age and the hardness of life in a village. This is an obscure and barely noticeable character in the Desire story, but Max has made him stand out more with this awesome portrait.
