Belethor

"Everything's for sale, my friend. Everything. If I had a sister, I'd sell her in a second."

- Belethor

 is the Breton owner of Belethor's General Goods in the city of Whiterun.

Personality
On occasion, he will jokingly say that he would sell his sister for gold, if he had one, and he would be willing to buy any customers' relatives off them, should they have any. His reputation within Whiterun is far from sparkling, as city guards refer to him as a "sleazy little man." Unlike most Bretons, he isn't at all serious. He is constantly making puns and is very sarcastic, especially when he's asked why he moved to Skyrim or, after the Battle for Whiterun, if the siege was hard on the city's merchants.

Trading situation
Upon meeting him, he will speak of the current trading situation in the Whiterun region. Because of the dragon attacks in Helgen, there is a lack of products around the city which impacts the prices, as less supply than demand equals higher prices. He has employed the help of Sigurd to do menial tasks around the shop for him.

Investment
With the Investor perk, one can invest gold in his store.

Hired Thugs
Belethor may send Hired Thugs out to attack the Dragonborn for something as simple as knocking something over in his store.
