Which Silk Road Trader Role Would You Have Played?

Picture the long chain of travelers, animals, and goods stretching across mountains and deserts centuries ago. One person at the front holds the whole group together, tracking supplies and routes so nobody gets left behind. Another moves through crowded markets with an easy smile, turning strangers into partners and partners into profit. A third is drawn to the boldest, rarest goods, willing to risk everything for something no one else has thought to carry. And somewhere ahead of them all rides someone who prefers the unknown path, comfortable being the first to meet whatever, or whoever, comes next.
