[b]Background:[/b]

As far as anyone can remember, Lucien Beumont-Dubois rode into Gullian on a fine white stallion just over two years ago and almost instantly set about making a name for himself as one of the most well connected, charming, and entertaining gentleman who straddled the lines between the lower nobility, bohemian artists, and the emerging wealthy merchants and burghers all looking to make connections. For a while he was the toast of the town, introducing such and such to so and so, staying in all the finest inns and attending all the best parties. 

Few people could remember meeting the Beumont-Dubois family when they had lived in Gullian twenty five years ago, but few thought it suspicious, after all it was a long time and Gullian is a large city. Hazy half recollections of a meeting at some gala a quarter of a century ago aside, the man and his money was something of mystery. Soon however, Lucky began to share with his new friends and associates the secrets of his mysterious fortune. 

It started casually, the buying and selling of a little objet d'art, perhaps splitting the cost of buying some imported wines wholesale. But once you had cut a deal with Lucky once or twice, more enticing offers appeared. His cousin's father in law owned a plot of land where prospectors had said there was gold, a plan to exploit Lucky's foreign contacts to start importing silk on jointly owned ships, an investment opportunity in one of the prime developments of the growing city of Gullian. All required significant loans or 'investments' from those Lucky rubbed elbows with. All were complete lies. 

The threads all began to unwind when one client of Lucky's art dealership just so happened to meet an artist whose work he had bought through Lucky. When he showed him the work, the artist swore he had never painted such a picture in his life. Rumours began to spread, enquiries were made. The country estates that were used as collateral in these pyramid schemes were found to be owned by different people, or not to exist at all. The inns and lodging houses he stayed at had never received a single silver in payment and some had been refusing Lucky credit for months. People began to ask for their money back. But before most of the could, Lucky disappeared. 

For the last few months, Lucky has been living in much reduced circumstances in the bad end of town. Continuously putting off or scraping together just enough coin to satisfying any creditors who manage to seek him out.
