One of his regular customers is Brian Westhouse (known in Marcuria as The Rolling Man), who April desperately needs to find to get back to Stark. After he fires Ulen, his delivery boy, in April's presence, she seizes the opportunity to get a job delivering maps, hoping a delivery to Westhouse will come along. After weighing his options, Karek's greed gets the better of him (by hiring April, he won't have to pay the hiring fee to the Guild of Merchants), and he gives April the job and the delivery list, along with the first map.
