Ragara Jyou
Ragara Jyou, a middle-aged Dragonblood of the water aspect, is the controller of the largest banking interest in Eagle's Launch, with investments across Eagle Prefecture. He has been amongst the bankers who have benefitted from the skyrocketing interest rates in the prefecture as the local salt gods become increasingly demanding, causing many whose livelihoods depend on loans to curse his name as they slide further into poverty.
Amongst his interests, Jyou provided loans to the mortal Dynasts Sesus Rokuko and Cathak Gracchus so they could afford the fees and donatives necessary to see their son Sesus Septimus accepted at the Academy for Cultivation of Youthful Talents, then the House of Bells, and finally commissioned as an officer in the 4th Imperial Legion. Though these loans have largely been repaid through concessions regarding iron ore and the spoils of the Campaign against the Anathema-Voivode, the skyrocketing interest rate has meant completely eliminating them has proven impossible.
