Ante

(Name is pronounced like 'Dante')

Notorious gambler with a cool and suave demeanour, infamous among those in Savnic for 'cheating' (when he never had- he's just got a cool poker face and a great nose for lies), rigging games (he never had done this either), and swindling innocent, first time gamblers who were inexperienced and cocky (maybe this one isn't completely false, still, he warned them first and they still tried their hand), hence the curse to ward off potential people he's 'scamming'. Rumored to be associated with murderers (true) and hire them frequently (false).

As a result of this reputation, whatever remains of his actual personality is buried under stacks of cards and bluffs as a measure of 'protecting himself', whatever that may mean.
