John Mercy

John Mercy is the owner of the general store in Haven Cross and member of the Council.

Personality
John Mercy is a kind man who had trouble accepting the outcome of the Battle of Haven Cross. He trusts his friend Lord Haven explicitly, but is willing to go behind his back to find out the truth about the possible links between Viren and the battle. He is known to be sarcastic at times.

Biography
During the first part of the cake arc, John Mercy sold Claire some ingredients for her cake baking plan.

Shortly before the harvest festival, Penny woke him up one night in order to buy supplies so that she could mount a deer head as a decoration for the inn. He was less than pleased at being interrupted at night, but helped her anyway.

After the party's meeting with the council about the documents found during the Battle of Haven Cross, John Mercy secretly met with them in a warehouse behind the guild. He gave the party an unofficial job to go to Viren and find out what was going on as discreetly as possible. It was at this point that he also gave the party their tents.

As suspicions rose within Haven Cross, he opted to build a secret tunnel under his shop/home leading outside of the town's outer wall. He served as a middleman for communications between The Party and Lord Haven for some time, and continued to serve on the town's council after the liberation. His business suffered a bit following the town's liberation, but is still healthy.
