Brigadier Hawthorn

Hawthorn Merryweather is 12th level paladin of Erathis and commander of Fort Vickery. He is physically tall and lean with dark green eyes and salt-and-pepper hair. On any given day he is more likely to be found walking the walls than in his office. He holds himself and his soldiers to a high standard in regards to the safety of the fort, requiring full readiness for battle anytime fog rises over the river banks of the Feymist.

Hawthorne relies heavily on the advice of Or-Jhann, and works well with the civilian Factor Arde Mayhew.

Hawthorn employs hobbit manservant George Chichester. Mister Chichester has worked for Hawthorn for the last 12 years, and comes from a long family tradition of gentlemen's servants. Even though he has never voiced an opinion on the matter, noone except for the other hobbits in town call him George.
