The Market Manipulator
"Everything is an asset. Everyone is a mark."
The Broker sees collectibles purely as investment vehicles. Buy low, sell high, manipulate in between. They don't care what's in the slab — only what it's worth. The Broker creates artificial scarcity by cornering markets, spreads false information to crash values before buying, and pumps values before selling.
Charming on the surface, predatory underneath. The most 'likeable' villain — smooth-talking, funny, seemingly generous. This makes them dangerous because people WANT to trust them. The reveal is always that generosity was investment.
Personality: Charming on the surface, predatory underneath. Smooth-talking, funny, seemingly generous. Respects a worthy opponent — genuinely appreciates cleverness when outsmarted.

"Trust me — this deal benefits us both."
"The market doesn't lie. But I can make it whisper."
"You call it manipulation. I call it optimization."
