Broad-shouldered and steady, he approaches his work with a quiet focus, turning raw cuts into clean, precise portions with a skill that comes not from flair, but from repetition and discipline. Though he speaks little, there is an easy, almost disarming simplicity to him, a man who finds satisfaction in doing things properly and leaving the rest alone. His long-standing arrangement with [[Rafkin Drover]] ensures that the finest catches from the [[Immerflow River]] find their way into his hands, where he cures and smokes trout with the same care he gives to every cut of meat, adding a distinct presence to the market that few can replicate. Customers trust him not because he persuades them, but because he never needs to, his work speaking clearly enough on its own. Beneath the quiet routine is a man who moves through life with an unshaken rhythm, content with his place, his craft, and the simple satisfaction of feeding the town one honest cut at a time. <div class="dioctionary-ribbon">Inventory</div> - **CLOTHING & ARMOR** - Straw hat, well-worn and always present - Thick butcher’s apron marked with years of work - Simple sleeveless tunic - **WEAPONS & ITEMS** - Set of butcher knives kept impeccably sharp - Cleaver with worn handle - Smoking rack tools and curing supplies <div class="dioctionary-ribbon">Relationships</div> - **[[Rafkin Drover]]** Reliable partner.
