Harbin Wester
Harbin Wester was the Townmaster of Phandalin in the late 15th century DR. Harbin was pompous and pretentious. He generally presented himself as polite and friendly, if a bit overdramatic and effusive, but this was just for politics. He worked closely with Sildar Hallwinter who arrived in Phandalin while working with Gundren Rockseeker.
A major crisis Harbin faced was the arrival of the Redbrand bandits. Even as they began to terrorize Phandalin, Wester did not seem to want to engage the rough bunch. In fact, he felt threatened by them and claimed that they were "not all that much trouble, really". Wester refused to arrest any Redbrands until their leader had been slain, or the group disbanded, as the townmaster feared retaliation. Instead, he focused on reports that orcs had appeared close by to the area, specifically in Wyvern Tor, and put out a notice to cull the group.
