Aldar Duskstone

Sheriff Aldar Duskstone

Aldar Duskstone is the Sheriff of Castleport. He is responsible for running and coordinating law enforcement duties for the entire county. He has a drinking problem and is prone to ignore minor criminality.

Physical Description

Facial Features

Sheriff Duskstone has a very noticeable scar that runs down the left side of his face over his eye, giving it a cloudy appearance. His beard is scruffy and poorly kept, while his hair shows remnants of the deep brown it used to be.

Mental characteristics

Employment

Aldar Duskstone is the sheriff of County Castleport and has jurisdiction of all of the towns within its boundaries. He has worked in this position for nearly 20 years, and before that worked as a town guard in Baylight.

Mental Trauma

In 1418, Aldar's son, Florentus, was murdered by cultists. Aldar was never able to track down the people responsible, but was left with just a clue in the form of a symbol: a single gear. The inability to avenge his son sent Aldar on a downward spiral of whiskey, bar fights, and laxed judicial standards.

Personality Characteristics

Vices & Personality flaws

Aldar has taken to alcoholism in the past decade or so, ever since the death of his son. He often has a flask on his person and regularly stinks of booze. Public confidence in him has eroded over the years because of this perceived failing. This, coupled with an increase in crime due to his inability - or more likely his ambivalence - to handle it properly, has caused many in polite society to question the judgement of Count Silverbane on his decision to keep Aldar in his position.

Social

Family Ties

Aldar's wife left him and returned to her family in Baylight a few years after their son, Florentus, was murdered. Aldar lives alone.

Speech

When Aldar is drunk, he tends to slur his words. In the rare instance that he is sober, he speaks clearly but gruffly.
