Rufus Trammel is a "procurer of all things exotic." Trammel has spent the last 10 years of his life building a reputation as a fairly unpleasant man who can get just about anything for his clientele. Of late, he has been focused on exotic wildlife, and the waters of Dorumaa have attracted his attention, along with that of dozens of other poachers. He has been seen making business inquiries throughout Cularin. It's said that he even met with Velin Wir (the previous head of the Metatheran Cartel in Cularin) -- though the Metatheran Cartel remains officially silent on all matters of business at this time.
Interestingly, Nirama's organization has actively denied any dealings with Trammel, going so far as to publicly castigate Trammel for his dealings on Blathar III. After Trammel left the moon, non-native viruses wiped out much of the indigenous plant life, making the specimens Trammel harvested on his visit some of the last in the galaxy. While he sold multiple samples of each back to the government of Blathar III, details of the arrangement were never made public. Many speculate that Trammel may have made as much as 3 million credits off the deal.
Trammel recently put in a bid on a private platform on Tolea Biqua, but withdrew it when the bid became public knowledge (a leak that was not at all covert on the part of Nirama's organization), retreating to a yacht skiff he uses to travel Dorumaa. While he rarely pilots the skiff himself, often he can be seen in the ship's bow, resting his elbows on the railing and letting the cool, tangy breeze blow through his thinning hair. On occasion, he ventures into the tourist communities to drink and gather information. It's whispered that he has individuals on every staff on the moon on his payroll -- just in case anything interesting comes up. Trammel clearly thinks there's something worthwhile lurking beneath the beautiful blue waters of Dorumaa, but as yet, no one is quite certain what that would be.
Trammel is a skinny Human with sandy hair
that exists primarily around the fringes of his head. He looks small and
frail, but he possesses a friendly, ready smile and a warm handshake that
he always holds a half-second longer than is comfortable.
