Joel Liss

Joel Liss is the father of Ezra Liss and husband to Noya Kaufmann. He was born into a middle class family as the only child.

• Naturally ambitious and driven, raised his status within society quickly through hard work, charm, and cut-throat approach to business
• Apprenticed for a merchant at 14, worked his ass off to learn as much as he could and make himself invaluable
• A few years later, he had made enough connections to establish himself separate from his former mentor
• Continued to grow his connections within the local merchants and became increasingly influential
• Leveraged his influence to expand his reach and crowd out any competition
• He continued this basic pattern to reach the level of nobility
  • Along the way he found a handful of like-minded people that make up his closest connections and friends
• No outright illegal or shady connections or dealings
• After his marriage to Noya, he slowly tapered off his ambition
  • Still highly values prestige and social standing and has a strong desire to keep the house well established
  • No longer trying to grow power at the cost of everything
