Irina Tracos is a wealthy merchant from the City. According to her friend
Magar she is from a race of interplanar traders but she
chooses to appear human most of the time to facilitate her business. She appears therefore
as a middle-aged woman with a friendly but brisk demeanour. She is highly intelligent and
quick to grasp what motivates her business contacts. Her clothes and appearance are always
immaculate without being too ostentatious. She usually wears her hair swept back in a bun and
unlike other members of her social class in the City does not wear make-up. Members of her
loyal staff are never far away and she usually travels with a retinue of five or six.
She has explained to the party that she specialises in opening up new worlds for trade. She
is very discrete, however, and if the world is not used to interplanar travel she will not
reveal where she comes from. She is a very confident person and enjoys her work but clearly
does not suffer fools easily. There are hints that her some of her attitudes are not
necessarily typical for her race and that she is a slight outsider in her own culture.
In addition to her inner circle Irina has brought a group of about twenty employees
(mainly rangers) to Oerth who are based at a camp next to the portal. At least
ten more are currently active in developing the site on the City side of the portal. Roughly
50% of her staff are human with a smattering of other races.
