Banker on the ninth floor whose money no longer keeps him alive.
Operatic is a banker, and Quasar introduces him with the sublime dismissiveness of "that banker Operatic guy". He appears on the short list of the ninth floor's wealthy — with Prince Stalwart the orc and Epitome Tagg of The Dream — who "all can really die now".
That is the whole of his standing at this point: a financier rich enough to buy a seat on a floor of Faction Wars, and, since the vote Carl engineered, no longer insulated from what happens there.
Undescribed beyond his profession — a banker among the crawl's moneyed class.
One of the three named rich participants whose ninth-floor protections were stripped away.
