Who is Sanka Bael?

[Hex: Onii-Chan]

Okay, I have no idea if I just missed the quest or something, but I have a bunch of NPCs whom I can attack and who are looking for Sanka Bael. There is the option to persuade them that she's in Tiltren... but I have no idea if that's putting them off or on track. I know it's not too important, but I do enjoy the roleplay part and don't want to make a decision uninformed.

She will turn up later in person.
Meantime, the Tavern can randomly give you the mission to handle these fellows. You can just leave them till that occurs if you like.

She is the trader at the market in tiltren.
If you took the trading quest from the guy at the inn she will even tell you that she will consider to sell his wares if you get rid of these guys first so she can be free. :)
After you persuaded them or killed them she will agree to help and ask for a couple of certain items before she closes the deal with him. A similar thing you will have to do with the merchant in marheim before you can go back to the tiltren inn and complete the quest entirely.

Those trading quests were prior to 1.0, Dumeka. Now she's just a lady who you can talk to in Gosenberg City, but she doesn't offer any quests. The Brotherhood group was still left in to interact with, but they are just something a little extra now.

So...is there any effect to using the persuade option over the kill option, different loot from them aside?

Also - I keep getting messages that go "Title unlocked" (i.e. Local Heroes) and it has the same symbol as the paths on the bottom right, but I can't find them anywhere.

Oh! did they change it?
I thought it was still there because I started new after the release but ohnly played arthes so far since I had to be out of town because of work at times.
Thanks for the infos! :)
