Xalvador Caskbow, Master Brewer and Proprietor of the Gilded Griffon

Age: 57
Occupation: Brewer/Pub Owner
Establishment: Gilded Griffon
Height: 5’9″
Distinguishing Features: Lip and nose piercings; Celtic tattoos covering both arms
Appearance: Xalvador is a man of distinct features with long, curled black hair that frames a face as hardy and enduring as the barrels he crafts. His piercing black eyes reflect the depth of a well-aged brew, holding within them stories untold. His skin, veiny and as dark as the stouts he brews, tells of years spent laboring over hops and malt, refining the art passed down through generations.

Xalvador’s life is one steeped in the rich traditions of brewing, his hands as adept at crafting ales as they are at managing the bustling life of the Gilded Griffon, the renowned tavern he owns. Known throughout the land for its fine selection of ales and spirits, the Gilded Griffon is more than just a place of refreshment; it’s a haven where weary travelers and eager adventurers gather to share tales and drink to their hearts’ content.

However, beneath Xalvador’s accomplished life as a master brewer lies a heart burdened with worry. His daughter, the apple of his eye and the heir to his brewing legacy, has mysteriously gone missing. This personal tragedy has cast a shadow over his usually jovial demeanor, and patrons can sometimes catch a glimpse of the sorrow that lurks behind his otherwise warm and inviting smile.

Despite this, Xalvador carries on with the resolve of a man who knows adversity as well as he knows brewing. He still serves his patrons with pride, his ales never faltering in quality. Yet, within the walls of the Gilded Griffon, if one listens closely, they might hear Xalvador’s silent plea for the safe return of his beloved daughter, the next master brewer in line to continue the legacy of the Gilded Griffon.
