“I always enjoy strangers coming into my home and giving me money.”
Daren Hightower is the head of the Water Merchants,[1] residing in the Heights district of the Hub around 2161.
Background
A reclusive and paranoid man, he employs a private army of bodyguards to stave off threats, both real and imaginary.

Relationships
Daren has a wife, an equally erratic and paranoid woman.
