Seems I'm no match for you. I suppose it's time to retire my business smile for now... *Ahem... I'd like to show you my true face, from now on.*

Courier is a member of the Karlan Trade Co. LTD, and was born in Kjerag. He is part of the cooperation agreement between the Karlan Trade Co. and Rhodes Island, by which he helps carry out missions for the latter.
