Biography: 

This "trader" may be the American who buys the protagonist after he reaches America, though that isn't specifically said (330). The narrative identifies him as "a deacon in the Unitarian church" (330), but the Unitarians don't have deacons. (In the antebellum era Unitarianism was associated with the North, so perhaps the term here is - like calling the captain of the story's slave ship a "New England captain" (330) - is meant to associate slavery in the U.S. with the North.)
