Toivo

Baron Toivo, a fellow of the Imperial Academy in Tampere, led a Mussalmian expedition to the tropical continent in search of dragons. A heartless man with no empathy, Toivo threatened to shoot any native baggage-carriers who deserted the expedition, nor did he show any sadness at the deaths of some of the Mussalmian savants. Indeed, when Piip was fatally wounded in the capture of a previously unknown animal, Toivo's only emotion was glee in possessing a new rare specimen. Savants Kyosti and Uluots wouldn't have put it past Toivo to use a native bearer as bait for a dragon-trap, so when the idea popped into their minds they pointedly did not ask him.
