Shlith-dan was a male Arcona whose skin was a dark gray color, patterned with streaks of brown. His addiction to salt was evident in his golden eyes.
From a young age, Shlith-dan developed a salt addiction, and to fund it, he became a dealer, which subsequently drew him into other criminal activities. Shlith-dan's ambition was to uncover a vulnerability in other species akin to the Arcona's salt addiction, with the aim of exploiting it for profit. Ultimately, he discovered a fungi that induced addiction in the inhabitants of the two Shesharile worlds, an event that proved to be the breaking point in the downfall of those civilizations.
This incident revealed to Shlith-dan the vast potential for profit in untapped markets. Consequently, he introduced black market commerce to the Minos Cluster. His primary competitor in that region was Yerkys ne Dago, but Shlith-dan realized he was outmatched and avoided direct confrontation with such a formidable adversary.
Shlith-dan possessed a calculating nature, and despite engaging in high-stakes ventures, his business acumen and skill generally shielded him from negative consequences. His primary motivation was to identify a biological weakness in a species indigenous to the Minos Cluster.
