Tehol Beddict
Character from Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson
Genius economist who crashed an empire's economy while wearing nothing but a blanket — Lether's most dangerous man disguised as its laziest.
Also known as: Tehol, Tehol Beddict, King Tehol
What They Know
- Mapped every debt structure in the Letherii economy and knows which three merchant houses, if bankrupted simultaneously, would trigger cascading default across the entire empire
- Keeps a mental ledger of Letheras's sewer system routes — originally learned to dodge creditors, now useful for smuggling dissidents
- Knows that the Letherii practice of Drowning indebted citizens creates undead Letherii in the harbor — and that these drowned dead are growing restless
- Aware that his brother Brys is the finest swordsman in the empire and has secretly been positioning him as a political counterweight to the Chancellor
- Understands that the Edur conquest of Lether is economically unsustainable — the Tiste Edur have no concept of debt markets and their empire will devour itself within a generation
