I just ran my 3 papers and mayhem in Cap au Diable, finishing up at level 15. When I went back to Desdemona she offered me the choice of Marshall Brass, Golden Roller or Peter Themari.

I selected Themari, wondering if he'd had his level range increased recently.

Nope, he's still 10 to 14. I go to him and the first thing he says after his intro speech is "I've got nothing more for you. So scram."

/bugged.

Marshall Brass is lvl 15-19
Peter Themari is indeed 10-14
I think he used to be labeled as 10-15, which would have made him a possible contact for you.
I've noticed the same type of thing happening once in a while, while being introduced to new contacts while being on a /5 lvl, both on Hero and Villainside.

According to Paragonwiki the Golden Roller is 15-19.

It's likely that Themari was offered since the run was likely started while you were Level 14. That is what it sounds like by you saying "finishing up at level 15" at least.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

Possible. As best as I recall I hit 15 during the mayhem, though I'd trained up before going back to the broker.

All was not lost in any case - my first attempt at the KR bank had been a disaster so I ended up running another 3 papers before doing KR again, then got an intro to Golden Roller. Later, I noticed that Themari was still in my active contacts tab, and when I spoke to him again he gave me an intro to Willy Wheeler, so I did get something out of him.

Thinking about it, this is the second time I've been introduced to Themari at a point where I'd already outlevelled him. Given that he's only available for 5 lowbie levels that go by very quickly it's no surprise I guess...
