People come to Petrichor for many reasons and one of those reasons is to escape. Be that from debts, bondage, or even slavery, indeed it is at the end of several transport chains that move people from danger to the (comparative) safety of Petrichor.
At the end of at least two of these chains is Gottalon, to all appearances, a mildly successful merchant of goods and supplies and organizer of transport (thus his title). While he is a decent merchant, he is a better person, happy to help people escape into the wilderness of Petrichor to start a new life, free of chains.
Gottalon has a midsized warehouse, with various hiding places built into it, a small collection of wagons and pushcarts (some of the wagons also have ways to conceal people built-in). And a midsized house for him and his employees.
Gottalon is a large man with a huge black beard and thick black hair, his eyes are a deep brown, and he has a booming voice.
