Rolf (roofer)

Rolf was a roofer of the town of Ghars in Cormyr in the mid–14 century DR.

Relationships
Rolf had his heart only on Mayella Meadowbrock, who'd been his friend since childhood. However, she was the daughter of Barthelm Meadowbrock, who disapproved of the lowborn laborer.

The bully Dovo knew Rolf's temper was his weak spot and so liked to insult him and make him jealous by pestering Mayella to get a rise out of him.

Personality
Rolf had a short, terrible, and violent temper. He got into fights just about every tenday, so much so that his father worried about him.

History
Rolf once apparently almost killed a man in a brawl in Thunderstone. While the other guy started it, Rolf finished it.

After a hard day's work, Rolf and a pair of fellow roofers went to the Bold Bard tavern on the evening of Eleint 16, boasting he could expose the culprit behind recent sightings of Fastred's ghost. When he saw the lecherous Dovo harassing Mayella, he intervened, and lost his temper when Dovo insulted him. The two got into a tavern brawl while Barthelm ordered Mayella to leave with him. Tavernkeeper Shortshanks broke it up, Rolf got the blame for starting it, and was roughly thrown out and even billed for the mess.

When Dovo was found dead the next morning, after impersonating Fastred's ghost, Rolf was briefly considered by some as a suspect. Jasper even attempted to test this that evening by throwing a piece of cheese at Rolf to see if he caught it in his right or left hand. The cheese instead hit him in the head and landed in his ale, but Jasper got his answer when Rolf hit him with his right. And again Rolf was thrown out of the Bold Bard.
