Dev
Has pivoted his career eleven times and is crushing it.
Merchant — Counts coins, deals, favours.
In their own words
“Honestly? This is a growth opportunity.”
“I'm basically disrupting the lineup space.”
“Let's take this offline. I've got a hard stop.”
“I have a scheme for steam-powered umbrellas, if anyone's investing.”— in Victorian London, 1888
Characters’ asides never contain clues. In a case, only their statements count as evidence.

Dev has stood in 19 lineups so far, as a innkeeper, a commercial traveller, a bookmaker, a trade envoy, a duty-free clerk, a purser and more. Whether they were guilty is something you’ll have to prove for yourself.
