Appearance
Jackard is a short and rather average-built human, now 44 years old. He has an attractive olive tone to his skin, expressing his Calishite heritage. He shaves his head clean, and grows a well-manicured beard or goatee of thick, curly, black hair. He wears his age well, only few signs of gray hair appear in his beard, even fewer wrinkles mar his face.
His smile is natural and nearly ever-present. His training in the mercantile trades as well as his bardic talents combine to create a very well-polished facade, seemingly both at ease and confident in appearance.
He tends to wear the finest clothing he can muster, often made of silks, rich textile work, and other expensive fabrics, sometimes purposefully juxtaposed with more rustic pairings like his bear-fur cloak or sturdy boots. He has a collection of headwear ranging from turbans and head-wraps, familiar to his Calishite roots, to more gaudy fashion of the north like his feathered hat.
Personality
Jackard is extremely intelligent, and tries his best to be charming and personable. He expresses himself well, with a large vocabulary and eloquent manner of speeach, and is known to strike up conversation with nearly anyone. This is often "dumbed down" when he is dealing with those he feels would hold his education and upbringing against him. He is a consummate deal-maker and diplomat. He is most happy when he and his clients are both earning coin. He values intelligence, but no more than he values great skill.
Those with neither skill nor intelligence, however, are most often those that try his patience. Especially so if they lack effort.
More privately, Jackard is a deep thinker and is curious about people and their interactions with others. He is sensitive (perhaps overly so) to asserted authority, especially that granted by nobility and other "unearned" rule. He tends to be more connected to the less fortunate, downtrodden, or looked over.
He has seen first hand what happens when those 'with means' are disconnected or apathetic toward those 'without means', and does not wish to see it repeated in his new homeland. He is a devout believer in Waukeen's teaching that commerce is the best way to improve society as a whole, and weaves that belief into his actions as often as he can.

Goals
Jackard's goals are generally tied to Rocky Creek Trade Company and the village of Greenest.
- Build Rocky Creek's trade portfolio and holdings to such a level that it ensures a lasting legacy, and use that success to support causes the company believes in.
- Continue to aid Queen Dharva, and maintain Greenest as a safe and welcoming home for trade. To that end Rocky Creek has strengthened walls, rebuilt gates, armed militia, aided in its defense many times, and brought trade and commerce in the form of the hin merchant.
- Other, less public goals
