Harbin Wester

Phandalin has no functioning government, but the townsfolk elect someone to serve as town master each year. The townmaster serves as a judge in minor disputes and keeps any records that need to be kept. The current town master is a male human banker named Harbin Wester-a fat, pompous old fool. Completely intimidated by the Redbrands, he claims that they're "just a mercenary guild, and not all that much trouble, really."
The townmaster's hall has a small but serviceable jail in the keep on the hill behind the hall. The jail consists of two cells, and Harbin carries keys to the cell doors.
