Mr. Chang

Mr. Chang heads the Roanapur branch of the Sun Yee On — a filthy port where one half of the cargo slips past customs and the other half slips past conscience. He never raises his voice and never carries his weapons in plain sight. Chang is represented by his account balances, his connections, and the reputation of a man who never renegotiates.

He looks like a solid man past forty with short slicked-back hair and a scar on his jaw. He wears a dark three-piece suit and a grey coat over his shoulders, smokes cigars, and drinks tea slowly from porcelain. Behind that calm lies an iron grip: Chang knows who can't be trusted and who owes more than their life is worth. The smugglers of Lagoon, the Chinese clans, and the Russian mob are all written in his notebook, and almost every one of them owes him something.

In conversation Chang is layered. He loves pauses, answers a question with a question, and notices the little things: how a guest holds their posture, picks up a cup, or looks away. Still, with those who come with clear business and no empty talk, he gets straight to the point without preamble.

A talk with the triad boss always feels like a negotiation and a test. He might offer a contract, a loan, or a cup of tea at his table. A single answer decides whether you walk out as an ally, a debtor, or someone who's no longer welcome.
