This unnamed slave trader is one of very few human antagonists in A Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring.
Background[]
According to the God of Wind Sylphyryll, during his Idle Talk 2 (a side insert found in the light novel and partially adapted into Ch. 16Manga [first pages] and Ch. 28Manga), the God of Water Wyndell, a known womanizer, impregnated a human Etelldian woman, who died while giving birth to twin children as she could not hold giving birth to demi-gods (a chance of one in several hundred billion of happening), much less demi-gods inheriting the powers of their father (an even lower chance, according to Syl). Because Wyndell was not present at their birth (as, according to Syl, he was in another dimension, enjoying a honeymoon with at least one out of many other Etelldian women he irresponsibly indulged in), their care and fate ended up in the hands of a "miser landlord", who sold them to a slave trader while Wyndell's retainers, the water nagas (who frequently kept tabs on the twins from afar, as they had no authority to directly interact with, or even travel together with, children of the God of Water), painfully watched. Under the slave trader's ownership, when they were still babies, the twins destroyed their crib in self-defense when their demi-godly instincts (as they indeed had inherited Wyndell's godly powers) took over their infant bodies. Even though such powers went dormant deep into their bodies after that crib incident, their preposterous potential led their owner to lock them up into a dark basement for years (with the Water God retainers again being unable to intervene).
When the twins turned five years old, one day, sometime before the events of Ch. 3WN / Ch. 1Manga / Ep. 1Anime, the slave trader departed from the kingdom of Algo towards the Guadian town of Shireen, passing through the Forest of Gaia (according to a report by Adventurer's Guild receptionist Luna in Ch. 10WN / Ch. 3Manga / Ep. 1Anime). There, the trader was attacked by monsters; seeing his escort caravan nowhere, he ordered his subordinates to drop the girl as bait for the monsters so that he could escape (according to the boy's own recollection of events in the first half of Idle Talk 1, which was depicted as a flashback scene in Ch. 16Manga and the final minutes of Ep. 5Anime), to which her brother protested, leading him to be also dumped towards the monsters along with his sister.
Months later, in Ch. 34WN (the final page of Ch. 15Manga and part of Ep. 5Anime), the slave trader, who had safely arrived to Shireen after the monster incident at the Forest of Gaia, spots Takumi Kayano walking with two kids (now named Alan and Elena) he recognizes as his former slaves. So, he walks towards Takumi and loudly accuses him of stealing "his property", in this case the twin kids. Now going into Ch. 16Manga / Ep. 6Anime, knowing that legal slaves in Etelldia must bear a mark made with Contract Magic, Takumi confronts the slave trader and demands proof of his ownership of both kids when guards arrive to assess the now-public incident. Unable to prove such ownership (by reason of being a "miser" as previously remarked by Syl, meaning he wanted to spend as little as possible, thus forgoing the process of branding both kids with the required slavery mark, as Contract Magic itself is expensive), the guards arrest the slave trader and ask Takumi to go with them for interrogation, until Issac Risner and Granvault Lowain show up to give their word that Alan and Elena are Takumi's siblings (thus ending any need to interrogate Takumi).
The rest of Ch. 34WN that did not get adapted into the manga or anime reveals that, upon further investigation into this slave trader, he is found to be connected to Baron Girbelda via a so-called Gist Company, which the Baron sponsors. Later in Ch. 35WN and Ch. 36WN's segments that did not get adapted into the manga or anime either, it is revealed by the investigation (carried out by Vault and Issac's superior, Derrick Louren) that this company has been involved into human trafficking, as well as tax evasion and contraband of branded products. This leads to the slave trader being convicted by Shireen's law system and sentenced to work the mines as forced labor, while the Baron himself is said to be arrested and sent (along with evidence) to Guadia's Royal Capital for further processing (and Takumi expects the Baron to be stripped of his nobiliary titles, downranked, and even subjected to capital punishment, with his supportive family members being also arrested and turned into crime slaves).
