Yaghoub, the Persian Merchant is one of the characters in Dead In Vinland.

Description[ | ]

Keywords: Traveler – Charismatic – Storyteller

Yaghoub is an appealing Persian Merchant with a majestuous beard neatly combed and filled with precious jewels. He is always giving you big friendly smiles, always has an incredible story to tell. But despite these classic merchant features, he also shows an astonishing sense of sharing, and an infinite kindness.

Combat[ | ]

Yaghoub is a "Fast Protector". While not as deadly as a Warrior, Protectors offer some more battlefield control (Taunt) and can protect other party members by taking some of the damage dealt to that party member upon themselves (Guard), or by buffing their dodge and critical resistance (Impenetrable Wall). Like Eirik, his “Fast” trait gives him +1 initiative for every enemy hurt during a turn. This bonus initiative can help Yaghoub prevent damage to his party by shielding or buffing allies before the enemies get their turn.

As a Protector, he has the following skills:
