Daniel Thistlewool- Chief of the Constables
Description:
He's tall and lean, for the men in his area, if this area is known to the observer.
A man who appears to eat frugally, go on frequent walks, or perhaps a little
of both. Or maybe he's one of those who is just born lean. He's currently garbed
in a plain white shirt beneath a pine-green vest, both of which drape his nimble
but athletic form.
Matching this appearance of frugality is a hardened face beneath small, but
intense light-brown eyes; slightly hollowed cheeks created by prominent cheek
bones, a button nose, full lips, and a slightly dimpled chin. He's clearly somewhat
advanced in years. Grey hairs standing out from his short-cut browns, as only
grey hairs do. His face is clean shaven and gaunt. There's a badge on his chest
which marks him the chief of the Bree Constables, to those familiar with the
badges of the constabulary. He wears brown trousers that hover over simple leather
boots. A simple short sword is sheathed at his side.
History:
Daniel Thistlewool is an
oddity in the Bree hierarchy. He began his life as any ordinary Thistlewool.
The son of one of Bree's best tailors, and a stern but loving mother, he was
an only child. His father, naturally, had him set for taking over the tailoring
business. But Daniel was lulled to boredom by the monotony of weaving and sewing
threads. He was a wiry teenager; one vulnerable to roughing by larger boys,
and it wasn't until late in childhood that he was able to fend for himself.
This ability to do so, together with his dislike for the less proper folk of
Bree, attracted him to the constabulary, where he began as a simple guard.
His keen interest in keeping order and harmony in Bree, whatever the cost, has
caused him to rise in the constabulary's ranks. Now in his middle years, he
is the Chief. One of the most powerful men in Bree. He views himself as a sort
of father and shepherd to the people of Bree now; using his keen intellect and
natural sense of fairness, together with a dose of pragmatism, to ensure prosperity
and happiness.
