Topol the Impoverished

A Poor Man's Lot
By definition, the rich are not rich until everyone else is quite poor. Not only is Topol the Impoverished quite poor, he has been incapable of significantly effecting his pool of wealth despite many fortuitous happenstances. He stands tall amongst the biggest of us, truely a giant among beasts, but his natural temper has always leaned towards kindness. Since childhood he has cultivated a small farm to  gruff demeanor in order to fit in, and it worked suprisingly well for him; his peers raised him up to be the bannerman they know and love.

It breaks my heart to see such a magnificent representative of humanity repetitively humbled by whims of the wicked weavers of fate. Topol came from a fundamentally rural family, the kind that cant afford to outsource beyond a few local farmhands. He lacked the ruthlessness required to 'get the most' out of the people under his employ, and encouragement only goes so far to entice the shit-shoveller to shovel more shit.
