"I'm sorry sir but your debt is due." A man in a suit said while playing with some coins. "P-please give me a few more days." An older man pleaded. "The Orzhova Syndicate may take your deal in consideration however. This Debt was from your brother and when he couldn't pay it, it got transferred to you." The man in the suit stood up from his chair and walked over to the older gentleman. "I'm sorry but your time is up. Thank you for your patronage at the bank of Orzhov."  The old man quickly got of from his seat and tried to run out the door before a man wielding a mace crushed him with it. The man in the suit walked over to the dead corpse of the old man. He placed a gold coin on the man, and a green mist starts to form around his body, the old man rises from the ground. His eyes now pale and white, his body in shambles due to the mace. "Since you couldn't pay the debt in life, you shall pay it in death. You there guard get the Debtors here, and sent this thrall to the mines." The Bank teller walked back to his desk and pressed a buzzer. "Send in the next one." A woman this time walked into the room and sat on the other side of the desk.

"Welcome to the Bank of Orzhov, how can I help you today." The Teller said with a smile.
