The known record

Who they are

A former mercenary who keeps the city's roughest tavern neutral through patience, leverage, and the credible possibility of violence.

Durnik’s scarred face and watchful eyes betray a past steeped in violence. These days he is more concerned with controlling the Broken Dagger than drawing a blade himself.

Thieves, killers, informants, and people who do not want their names recorded all pass through his bar. Durnik survives by listening, remembering, and deciding which trouble belongs outside.

The people around them.
