40d:Broker
The Outpost Broker is an appointed noble position. This noble is the primary dwarf in charge of trading.
Your trade depot must have a dwarf manning the building in order to trade. You can set your trade depot for "Only broker may trade", or for "Anyone may trade"; much like the harvesting options, this allows you to use only your highest-skilled dwarf to conduct trades.
The Outpost Broker uses the following skills when conducting a successful trade:
Not all of these skills are gained every time; appraiser is not always gained (or may come from another source).
The Outpost Broker does not gain any skills when proposing a trade that is not accepted, or when offering items to the foreign trader.
The Outpost Broker has many skills in common with the expedition leader, so you might consider making them the same person.
This noble does not seem to do anything when not trading. See the appraiser page for notes on your created wealth and trade information.
