 ==Biography==
-Hasawithe was born in [[Folktown]] of obscure parentage.  He went to [[Iganefta]] to work for Baron James Horkmanifester where he learned and followed Horkmanifester's investment rules.  Hasawithe returned to [[Folktown]] in -47 {{EC}} and started his own investment partnership, putting in his own money and raising additional investments from friends and family. By -45 {{EC}}, his investments returned an average of almost 30% a year, in a market where 7% to 11% is the norm and anything more is outstanding.

 Hasawithe married Tistar Wakami in -44 [[EC]].  They separated in -38 [[EC]] but remained married. She was a significant shareholder in Gweddil Fluffett. They have three children. In terms of his personal life Hasawithe is famously frugal. He is only paid ten thousand [[Quezlarian Ooo|Quezloos]] per annum by Gweddil Fluffett by his own choice, with the bulk of his disposable income coming from his other personal investments outside of Gweddil Fluffett even though these apparently constitute less than 2% of his overall net worth.  He owns one of the largest private libraries in Ghyll.  He makes charitable donations through Gweddil Fluffett, usually around twenty thousand [[Quezlarian Ooo|Quezloos]] a year altogether. He has stated his intention to disburse 99% of his wealth after his death to good causes.

Hasawithe eventually liquidated the stuffed toy business but kept the name and turned the shell of the company into a investment vehicle which generated a steady cash flow for further investment.

 Hasawithe customarily focuses his investments in undervalued companies with good long-term growth potential. Identifying such companies is the difficult part. The actual value generated is more by the companies he owns than stock market investments, although his ownership in companies such as Folktown Mechanoworks, of which Gweddil Fluffett is the largest single shareholder, and the Glossfordshire Maurlons attracts more attention.  Hasawithe avoids newspaper companies, not because they are inherently less desirable, but because he prefers businesses he understands.

 Hasawithe believes that much of the problems with the economy of Ghyll results from the proliferation of persons and organizations who produce nothing directly but are compensated based on the volume of business which they transact.  In other words, Hasawithe is in favor of rewarding those who actually create goods and services for the betterment of Ghyllians, rather than those who merely push paper -- or move money about.  He hopes that his partners in Gweddil Fluffett take their investment likewise, as a long-term or lifelong investment; he discourages those with a short-term view from investing in his company.
