Card Lores:Noble Jewish Merchant, Shylock

A Jewish moneylender. Ever since the incident at the court, which resulted in half his property being handed over to the State and the other half being given to his unfaithful daughter as well as "Shylock's" conversion to a Christian, he had hated his rival, "Antonio", even more than he did before the incident. Before the incident, "Antonio" had verbally insulted him more than once, spat on him, and even went as far as to rudely thrust him across his own threshold, like a dog. Therefore, to exact revenge on "Antonio", "Shylock", when "Antonio" asked him for a loan, asked him to sign a bond that if "Antonio" does not return the money back in 3 months, he would take a pound of "Antonio's" flesh from any part of his body he wished. Since "Antonio" was confidant in the fact that he will be able to return the money, the bond was signed. Unfortunately for "Shylock", his daughter, who had run off with a Christian man she loved, took a considerable sum of money from him to aid in their escape. Upon hearing this, "Shylock" was furious, and now the only thing left to console him was the fact that "Antonio's" ships, carrying money, were wrecked at sea, meaning that "Shylock" could now have his bond fulfilled. But, at the court, his plans were foiled by a lawyer called Bellario, and accused "Shylock" of trying to kill "Antonio".

Not only did he have no one left to rely on, all his property were either gone to the State or his daughter, and his friends from his former religion shunned him as he was now a Christian. "Shylock" was left alone in the world, and "Antonio" treated him worse than before, even though "Shylock" was now a Christian, as he had not forgotten "Shylock's" former religion. Still, in "Shylock's" heart, an unfulfilled desire for revenge grew inside him, waiting to be unleashed one day.
