Appearances Messenger, Son


The Trademaster is an evil spirit manifesting as a man. He likes making trades with cheap prices, which work out better for him than the person he trades with.  In Messenger, he tricks the villagers into giving away values, such as health, for trivial things, such as the Gaming Machine or attractiveness. In Son, Claire agrees to give him her youth in order to find her son Gabriel, thus turning her into an old woman. However, Trademaster is defeated when Gabriel tells him about Einar living the life of a good man, and Mentor regaining his honor. Gabriel uses the paddle he carved to mark the spot where he defeated the Trademaster.
