Heroes

 * Naofumi Iwatani: Beloukas has an excellent business relationship with Naofumi, to the point where he refers to the Shield Hero as his favorite customer. Beloukas was the second business owner to treat Naofumi with any form of respect following the false rape accusation from Malty Melromarc and impressed upon the young man with his honesty. Likewise when Naofumi needed to build up man power in anticipation of fighting the Waves of Calamity and Houou the first person he thought of was the Slave Trader who he entrusted with the task of tracking down as many people from Raphtalia's village as well as strong monsters and Demi-Humans that he could train to fight.


 * Kitamura Motoyasu: Beloukas view's the broken Motoyasu as more of an opportunity than a client. Having long since desired to know how to raise a Royal Filolial without the use of a Hero imagine the traders surprise when he finds a broken Hero wander into his store muttering about Filo. After that it was not long before Motoyasu started making regular visits to clean out the Trader's entire stock of Filolials.

Other

 * Raphtalia: Raphtalia was something of a problem bit of merchandise for the trader. Do to the trauma's she suffered during the First wave she could neither work properly or give a satisfying reaction when tortured so she kept being returned to the trader, thus he was actually quite happy when Naofumi bought her likely viewing it as being rid of spoiled merchandise. Imagine then his surprise when Naofumi brings Raphtalia back explaining that she needed a new slave seal. The moment the ritual had been completed Beloukas offered to buy the Tanuki back for 20 gold, 35 when he found out she was still a virgin. Raphtalia for her part tolerates the Slave trader and his antics so long as they help Naofumi.


 * Firo: Another 'bargain' that came back to bite the trader. When Naofumi whimsically bought an egg from the trader's monster raffle for 100 silvers imagine the trader's surprise when he came back days later with the bird transformed into Filolial Queen and once again immediately tried to buy the bird. When that failed he instead used her as a means to wring more money out of Naofumi selling him a High grade slave Seal to keep her under control and a set of metal claws normally reserved for dragons. Firo on the other hand is terrified of the trader due to the trauma of her second slave seal.

Trivia

 * As Naofumi himself references upon meeting him in the WN, the Slave Merchant very closely resembles the Millenium Earl from D.Gray Man.
