The Fringe

Nylar Hreidersson - Loan Shark

Nylar Hreidersson was born and bred on Ketress, the only son of a fur trapper and his wife. Nylar's early life was good, as his father was a fine hunter and brought in only the best quality pelts, but when a tourist hunter accidentally shot and severely injured Hreidersson senior, young Nylar's world was turned upside down. No longer able to hunt, his father turned to the bottle, crawling deep inside, never to return. Nylar's mother couldn't cope with her husband's drunken episodes and took young Nylar away from their wilderness home to resettle in Zahrin.

Life in the city was no easier for Nylar and his mother, and Nylar had to start working when he was just 13. His first job was little more than a waiters job, where he ferried food and drink around to various work sites at the spaceport. His "informal" education started quickly, as the port workers quickly realised that no one paid much attention to a young boy and Nylar was soon drawn in to the seamier side of port life - he acted as a look out and a decoy for various thefts, and as a courier of information. The easy money seduced Nylar deeper into the underworld, always looking for the next strike. A shrewd boy, Nylar matured into a sharp-minded villain, with an eye for the main chance, though it has to be said he is a small fish in a small pond. He quickly realised that money was the key to life on this harsh planet, and, drawing on the desperation of his younger days, began to loan money to those down on their luck. Starting small, Nylar was able to expand his operation, the interest rates he charged began to climb, and the consequences of missed payments escalated concomitantly. Gathering a small group of thugs around him, Nylar now runs an organisation he calls The Aleheads, an oblique reference to the last dark days of his fathers life. Still a major loan shark to the poor and needy of Zahrin, Nylar has started to move up in the world, offering loans to struggling small businesses (of course, there are many and varied reasons for those struggles, none of which have anything to do with Nylar!).

Now in his early thirties, Nylar has achieved a niche position in the criminal fraternity of Ketress: his organisation is big enough that no one tries to muscle in on his action, yet it remains small enough to avoid any serious attention from the local law enforcement. Still, he has greater ambitions and is currently angling to get a cut of one of the major off world organisations' action, trying to supplant long time rival Sorgan Trefko as the key contact in the lucrative food import business. Nylar has a great deal of confidence in the abilities of the Aleheads, however, he doesn't realise that the galaxy is a bigger and nastier place than Ketress.

Nylar stand at 1.65m with a medium build and angular features. He has brown eyes, brown hair and a neatly trimmed full bead. For a human he appears untouched by age, despite his 34 years.
