52. Retired commercial fisherman, blew out his back at 40. Massive, quiet, runs his bar like a deck — with authority and minimal words. His moral code is simple and absolute. Banned-for-life list is long.
The conscience of Caldmere. Has run the Gazette for twenty-two years. Fierce, principled, and terrified that the paper will die before she does.
