Buorstag Hlammythyl

Buorstag Hlammythyl was the elected Bron (also seen as "bron", possibly a corruption of "baron" ) or sheriff of the town of Voonlar  from about the Year of the Harp, 1355 DR, until at least the Year of Wild Magic, 1372 DR.

Description
Buorstag was a large and exceptionally strong man who received many battle scars over the years. The parts of his face that were not scarred or covered by his untrimmed mustache were prone to developing pimples. He walked with a swagger and had a loud, commanding voice that was usually hoarse.

Personality
His years as a mercenary did not increase his wealth, his generosity, or his sense of fairness, in fact, just the opposite. Buorstag was always looking out for himself, using brutality and cunning to greedily build his personal wealth so he could eventually retire in comfort to Secomber, or perhaps acquire a villa in upland Sembia. His underlying fear that enemies from his past life would track him down made him aggressive in the pursuit of money and in the prosecution of potential spies. The only people he deferred to were representatives of the Zhentarim, obeying their every whim.

Buorstag drank large quantities of beer and ale because he thought it enhanced his appearance of manliness to the local population, but secretly he preferred warm milk with plenty of sugar. His favorite foods were roast boar and pepper cheese imported from Tethyr. He was enamored with music, singing, dancing, and well-spun tales. He never missed a performance by traveling shows or minstrels, but observed only from the shadows, places of hiding, or adjacent rooms so no one could see the rapture on his face.

He knew his looks were distinctive at best and he was always on the lookout for ways to change his appearance, not only to throw off enemies from his past but to improve his attractiveness to women. Inwardly, he wanted to experience companionship and intimacy with women that didn't require coercion, fear, or payment.

Possessions
Buorstag's personal wealth consisted of a literal pot of gold coins that he kept hidden in the chimney of an unused fireplace in his bedroom in the Locktower, and a belt that he kept looped to the underside of his bed into which he sewed emeralds, rubies, and sapphires he acquired by whatever means. He also kept a stash of various coins buried in a sack near a dead tree in the woods just south of the town dump.

While on duty, which was most of the time, he wore chain mail +1 and carried a longsword +1. If needed, he had access to plate armor cached at the Locktower and two gatehouses around town.
