Baron Krugal Frieks was the man in charge of Duskfell's external trades, so he was responsible for all imports and exports to and from the city.

Why? It was because he was obsessed with money.
A commoner who was struggling for even a piece of bread was given an amount of money that filled a whole room. His excitement over money was unimaginable.
In his role as the mediator, he facilitated the trade between the adventure association and the city head. Essentially, the trade could not have taken place without him.
