On more than one occasion, Trade is caught but always manages toescape.

In the second strand, John Teefer, a personification of Trade's consciousness, wakes up on an island.Teefer is rescued by a reclusive old man and meets other characters; each one representing different personifications ofJack Trade. As the adventure proceeds, Teefer slowly discovers his true identity.With deep subtext,Faces of Villainallows the reader to further understand the characters' mindscape by solving puzzlesbetween chapters.
