appearance
Turch Sterglus is a wiry old man with a sun-weathered face, deep wrinkles, and a long, unkempt white beard. His lazy eye drifts slightly when he talks, adding to his eccentric charm. He wears a stained apron over a simple tunic and carries a well-used fillet knife on his belt. His hands are rough and calloused from years at sea, and he often smells of salt and fish.
personality
Gruff but good-natured, Turch grumbles about everything yet greets customers with a wink and a smile. He enjoys friendly banter and secretly loves teaching younger folk the tricks of the trade. He has a sharp eye for quality seafood and won’t tolerate anyone trying to cheat him or his customers.
backstory
Once a hardworking fisherman, Turch retired from the waves and took over the daily operations of Sandpoint’s bustling fish market. Despite his constant complaints about the weather, the youth, and the "inferior" catch of the day, he takes great pride in his work. The market is officially owned by the Valdemar family, but Turch has been its heart and soul for years. His five sons, all skilled workers in their own right, assist him in running the business, ensuring Sandpoint never lacks fresh seafood.
