Rumored to be the Guild kingpin for the Steeps—controlling loan sharks and illicit enforcers—Rakath’s influence blends lawful banking and criminal protection, and his vaults are said to hold both legitimate deposits and stolen treasures. His position makes the Counting House an appealing and dangerous target for criminals and desperate planners alike.

He keeps meticulous records and blends legitimate banking with underworld influence—sources describe him candidly as corrupt but competent, offering helpful loans with binding strings.
