Forget about the ex-owner.  He's now your blood enemy and you don't have
any chance to influence him.  The secondary character is another matter.
That chararacter probably doesn't have any prestige at all.  If you want
to try to influence that character, you'll want to know more about him.
Have any one one of your characters try to influence him.  The turn
results will give you the religion and all of the skills that he knows.
You get a bonus to your influence attempt for every skill that you have
in common.  It may take a while, but you can throw an action every now
and then to try to influence him.

Remember that the formula for practicing influence is (22-Influence
skill)*3.  So your chance to succeed at practicing starts at only 66%.
After a point it doesn't matter whether you practice it or just try to
influence a character.  The chance of success at gaining a level are
about the same and you mught just pick up an extra character.
