Benns Joanna

Epheria-born Lamute Gang member, Benns Joanna.

Ever since she was a young girl in Epheria, Joanna was known to boast bargaining skills akin to that of Bahar, and later came to be in charge of bartering for the Lamute Gang. Due to her exceptional bargaining skills, she introduced the concept of bartering to the Papus and Otters, who were engaged in their Thousand Year War, and catered to their rivalry under the pretense that information is the key to victory. The Papus and the Otters did not think her proposal strange, and accepted her teachings. During her first Bartering class, Joanna struggled much due to her Barterers fighting each other at the slightest provocation. However, now fully trained, they have been separated and sent to the far isles, allowing her to rest with ease.

The Lamute Gang gained much from her efforts. For thanks to Joanna, both the Papus and Otters had gained better understanding of the world beyond, and they came to place their utmost faith in her. The Lamute Gang now has a network of seemingly never-ending information delivered from the numerous Barterers placed in each of the far-off isles.
