Appearance:

Porgyn is an ugly man, with a thick red beard and muddy brown skin. He is bald, but has a gray mustache that matches his gray hair. He is fat, but not in a "I just ate a sausage" way, but in a "I love food and have no excuse not to hide my love" way. He wears a torn and dirty chainmail shirt under a worn purple cloak. He carries a broadsword, but he is a terrible fighter.

Interaction:

The Mayor is a greedy man, he will ask the players what they want because he wants the best out of a deal. He enjoys eating, and will always try to negotiate for better food for himself. He is lazy, and will avoid work, especially physical work. He will give the players the run around, and act like he doesn't know anything. He is also very gullible, and will easily believe lies. He will give the players a small reward for helping him. If the players don't make their intentions clear, he will assume they want their reward without doing anything.

Background:

As a child, his parents gave him to a petty thief for a loaf of bread, and he was trained as a thief and pick pocket. He quickly grew cunning and brazen, and soon he was able to steal his way into being a captain in the city guard. When the previous mayor passed away, he was elected to become the new mayor of Crowthorne. He is an unpopular mayor, and is in constant danger. On multiple occasions, assassins have tried to kill him. He has grown paranoid and he hires guards to protect him. He has also bragged that he is untouchable, and he is extremely confident that he can fend off his enemies. If the players aid him they will gain the respect of the city guard and be offered better jobs.

Combat / Skills:

Porgyn has a decent amount of combat skill as a result of his military training as a guard captain. However, he has grown fat and lazy over the years, and he is unable to make quick decisions.
