I’ve just thought about something and I wanted to get some other opinions and theories. Any other merchant is known by their shop name followed by the word merchant, for example; the Timecrest merchant. Yet, the owner of Drape Heaven isn’t called Drape Heaven merchant; rather he has an actual name, Melvin. Anyone have any theories on why he gets to keep his ñame and maybe how he got around the Merchant Union leader’s rule?

Perhaps he had a life before being at Portia’s orphanage? it seems like the people in her union came from there, so I’m just guessing that it’s a case like Edgar’s. He isn’t in the union I know, but he has kept his name. The time crest merchant tells Ash at some point that he has been raised in the union and was there since he was a baby, so I would imagine those who don’t have any names probably fall under similar circumstances. That would be my guess anyway.Last edited by DudeLove721; 03-25-2020, 05:28 AM.

I’ve just had a theory, mild spoilers for TC3.
|| So, in chapter 13, if you pick Riley, we learned that the Timecrest, merchant, and possibly all, or most other merchants are of a species called Bunarfs. I can’t be certain, every merchant is though. They don’t describe Melvin, but I feel like he’s probably an Alyncian natural. It is possible that he opened Drape Heaven before the naming became a thing, it is also possible that there is a species related reason that he got to keep his name. ||
Those are just my most recent thoughts on this, let me know what you all think. 😀
