He was the president of the corporation, at least in name, from the death of his father until his own demise, but completely turned operation of the company over to the board of trustees, and spent the entirety of his adult life at various vacation spots, or attenting theater productions in far flung parts of the world. Rhajoon II donated enormous amounts of money to the [[Council for Quezlarian Research]], reportedly in exchange for having it named after him. He funded the construction of the Folktown Ampitheatre on the site of the ruins of the ancient Ampitheatre, and, it would appear, coined the term [[Amphitheatre aristocracy]]. At one point, he got himself elected to [[Parliament]], just to see if he could, and then promptly resigned. The story that he appointed his cat to a position of leadership in the company are completely false.

 '''Rhajoon Quezlar'''. -179 - 100EC. Wrested control of the company from his father at the absurdly young age of 10. Rhajoon was a "squeezing wrenching grasping scraping clutching covetous old sinner", to quote one contemporary source. Even at the age of 10, he was a shrewd businessman. He never drank a drop of his own product, but embarked on a carefully calculated plan to ensnare all of Ghyll in the addiction to Fefferberry. He concoted large parts of the [[Fefferberry Folklore]], and even went to the point of forging historic documents, and hiring archaelogists to dig them up, in order to increase the mythos. The people of Ghyll - particularly those with substantial wealth - fell for this completely, and the future of the Quezlars was assured. Even when his fraud was exposed, it was all taken as a fine joke, and only increased the appeal of the sweet wines. When Rhajoon died, he was given a hero's funeral, and for many years, his birthday was celebrated with drunken parties lasting two or three days. Rhajoon held all of his customers in the most complete contempt, and considered it a great joke that he was held in such high regard.
