Heir?

Treatise

Question Author

Possibly. The use of the word protegee would suggest a student or follower of Shylock who was a moneylender in The Merchant of Venice.

Calibax

Yes, I can't parse it. An heir could be a protege. Not specific to Shylok though.
Not sure if it is significant that the clue uses the feminine protégée.

fiction-factory

and heir sounds like hair (lock of hair). Well it is RTE

Toorak

(H)air (lock shy of a letter) sounds like heir

That's it

Calibax

Hmm, not sure I like it. There's no indication of a homophone.
Is the ellipsis significant? What's the following clue?

Question Author

The second letter of the clue is S and not E as I mistakenly listed earlier. The correct answer, I believe, is "Usur" - a practitioner of Usury (illegal moneylending).

I thought it might be 'EBER' but you all have 'e' as the second letter !!!!

User is more likely then, I think
