Appearance: A tall man standing at eight foot, though half of his height is made up of his incredibly long legs that are common to his species, making the rest of his body look much to small. He has ginger hair, combed backwards on his head and a long, thin, curly mustache on his face, which has quite deeply indented cheeks and chin with a deep dimple in its center. The top of his head, including his eyes, are obscured by a crude and basic metal helmet, with only a cross reaching to four diffrent points of the bowl shaped head gear as decoration. He wears a purple pinstripe suit, with black stripes, a plain orange work shirt underneath the suits buttoned up jacket, a pair of simple and plain cufflinks on his wrists, a black tie, and an ordinary pair of buisness shoes. He also has a sheath strapped to an ordinary leatherbelt, as well as a holster and two sepreate sacks to hold his, greive edges, respectevily one next to the sheath and the other next to the holster.
History: Adopted into the Zastur family by the then current king, Derek was raised among them groomed to be the next heir of the kingdom due to his highness had no wife or children of his own, though spent most of his days trying to sell anything he could to anyone who would buy it, a trait and habit which stuck with him for some time, as well as a rather awful habit of trying to dig into peoples secrets for merely his own satifaction of managing such a thing, even his own cousin Lord Darral Zastur, though ofcourse never gave secrets away as he was never payed to. After he began growing into his adulthood, his highness decided to test his sons abilities as a diplomat, sending him to confrences for a while to discuss matters with foreign allies and neighbouring kingdoms, to which was met with great success, enough so that Derek was easily able to win over most deals purely by 'charm' and his 'silver tounge', though unknown to his father there was occasionly a few bribes given to those he thought were corrupt enough to take them, and took a fair few bribes himself, keeping tabs on such procedings in case he ever needed to visit them again. After some time of this, his majesty began to suspect Derek of his dealings to which he began to come up with a plan. It was simple really, he just needed to feint his own kidnapping. All he had to do was leave a ransom note made by printing and not pen, get his most loyal servants to stuff him into a sack with anything valuble, as well as his sheathed rapier whoch mainly used in sport and records of his dealings, and set on a boat to the next island where it's inhabitants owed him some favours. although successfull, his plan had one flaw, he had no experience of navigation and automaticly assumed it would be a simple from A to B situation and after getting lost at sea for nearly a week, and although had plenty of food and nothing to drink which led to his odd habit, had finally ended up at his destination. It was there he began to build the Moustache Brokers, a network of spies that reported to him via private den denmushi line, and after small beginnings merely selling scandals of politians and celeb gossip, became one of the most powerful information networks, and brached out to money lending and contract broking as well. He also practised in the arts of the strange weapons known as grieve edges, as well as becoming familiar with using a pistole and a sword in fencing style. After sending his buisness in quite a wide spread of the world; though it was'nt enough for Lord Derek Zastur, he wanted to fully expand his buisness, his goal of reaching the end of the grandline.
Personality: Although a man filled with greed, fully focusing on any oppertunity to gain more wealth, he does have three exceptions which he excercises as the three rules of his Mustache Brokers. 1) No information is to be given out unless Zastur has decided on a price himself, especially not on previous dealings which are entirely confidential and not to be shared. 2) All members are to be treated of great importance, for none of them are to be killed, tortured, or ratted out by anyone in the Moustache Brokers by any means. And finally 3) As long as he is still getting payed, Moustahce Brokers alligence is to their current employer fully until their payments have been stopped. Derek is also quite the smarmy fellow, treating nearly everyone as his lesser apart from his own subordinates and those he belives are even greater than he is, which is a rarety indeed. He speaks in a manner of a noble that is constantly unintrested in anything apart from buissness, though loses his usual demenor when he is thirsty, to which he goes into a panic and searches for the nearest drinkable substance, going into a fearful frenzy of being dehydrated like the time he became lost at sea.
Ship: The Guilded Turkey; a small and narrow steam powered paddle boat with golden coloured paddle wheels as well as a golden finish around the edges of the boat. In the only cabin of the boat there is a single furnace powering the wheels, acompanied by a single throne placed in the centre of the room with red smooth fabirc and cusions and a frame that is also gold, on its right is a safe around the same size, and simple wooden desk and chair to its left, and a large sack of coal leaning against a large filling cabinet behind the throne, and a simple tea table and visitors seats. The ship cabin has enough space for at least seven fully grown human adults.
Ship Flag: The Mustache Brokers flag; a simple picture of a den den mushi with a large curled moustache.
Devil Fruit: none
type: N/A
effect: N/A
Special Abilities: Experienced actor and negotiator, a financial genius, good information and contact gathering skills, above average strength and speed, competent swordsman, marksman, and grieve edge wielder.
Learned Techniques (Keep it 1-25): Suprise shot: Lord Zastur feints an attack with his rapier only to fire his magnum pistole at his opponent at blank range
Catch!: Zastur tosses either his rapier or magnum to their opponent as a distraction before viciously roundhouse kicking them in the stomache
Shin breaking barrage: Zastur repeatedly kicks at his opponent's shins
Cringeworthy combo: swiftly kicks his opponent in the side, following a kick to the groin, leg, chest, and then finally grabbing their head between his shin and thigh before slaming them to the ground and kicking at their head with his other foot.
Weapons/Items: along with sets of weapons; a rapier, a magnum pistole, and a pair of
Grieve Edges; he keeps some his documents and contracts in his suprisingly deep trouser pockets if he believes they'll come in useful soon, as well as a ledger of any contacts he has, and his own private jewel encrusted and mustached den den mushi for his private brokers communications line. He also keeps some spare bullets in his coat pockets. Although not really considered as items or weapons; he has his own network of spies to dig up information for him.
Goals: To continue his business, avoid being brought back to the Zastur kingdom, and expand his business to the ends of the grandline.
