He had a face reminiscent of a smarmy rat.

Activities
He was the owner, barkeeper, and sole worker in the tavern. He watered down his drinks.

History
Hesketh opened the Swamp Rat in the. It immediately stole customers and business from the Bold Bard, previously the only tavern in town, which angered its owner Shortshanks. However, the later ghost sightings around the Swamp Rat from Mirtul 27 onward drove customers back to the Bold Bard.

Needless to say, Hesketh was eager for business by Eleint 17, after the ghost was revealed to be a fake. That night, he served various customers, including Jasper, Bortas, and others, and rented king's envoy Grodoveth a room.
