David Wicks

Deputy David Wicks

An amiable fellow, Wicks is a good natured deputy. He has grown up in the Steelyard and his grandmother was the first mayor, hence he is very fond of the place, and works hard to keep her legacy alive. Takes a far more friendly and conciliatory approach to policing than the sheriff. The two main things people notice about him, are his eyepatch, and his badge that reads “ask me about my eye”.
