The Dealer
Niklas
“Looks like you know a deal when you see one.”
Niklas "The Dealer" is a Vanguard hero of the Aegis Global guild with 1150 HP, 44 Defense and 1 Range, with the passive ability "Red Hot Deals".
Notes
An economy vanguard who grows by eating items. Red Hot Deals consumes his leftmost item whenever he survives a fight, permanently absorbing its stats and converting 80% of its value into Shards. With 1150 HP he runs an item engine and a Shard economy single-handedly.
The Executive, adding two item slots and big Shields on Rush, is the main self-buff pick. In Shard-hoarding comps, The Hoarder reflects damage instead. Even cheap items are profit once fed to him, so funnel your spare shop change into his slots.

Lore
Current work
He's who Aegis sends when something has to move quietly: officially an acquisitions lead, unofficially their smuggler-in-chief. Self-made, and long decided that fairness is a luxury for people who can afford to lose. Nothing leaves a rift in his presence without a cut for him.
Motivation
Aegis pays well, but it watches everything and owns everything he touches. A new guild is an open market: fewer eyes, a bigger margin, first pick of whatever comes out of a rift before it's logged. He's switching if he believes you're the better deal.
