Verad Bellveil is an eccentric merchant who sells junk and tells people it's junk, but is nevertheless oddly personable and easy to get along with. He has an honest and idealistic streak - save where he is bragging about himself - that doesn't do him much good, a flair for the dramatic, and a tendency towards the verbose.
As far as my influences go, well, I read a lot of Terry Pratchett growing up. I generally play with an eye towards humor, in part because that just interests me more, and in part because I find that making a character most people associate with comic relief suffer is an act that hits the audience in the gut pretty hard.
I also tend to play him towards the verbose because I am fascinated with the aesthetic of writing, and with the use of style. I find that it's easier to get away with stylistic flourishes in RP if you're playing a funny character - otherwise, past experience has shown me that things like narrative voice and wordplay can be looked down upon by some players.
