Edgar the Portly

Edgar the Portly is the Breton owner and barkeep of the Drunken Nord Tavern in Raven Rock.

History
Edgar was born in Daggerfall in Highrock, the son of a well to do father he had no title but he had enough money to be comfortable. He grew up in the city working for a noble and learning the art of diplomacy while he was at it. Eventually he grew tired of the politics in Highrock and decided to move away for a more simple life. He did his homework before leaving and found out about the Imperial plans to develop on Solstheim, he decided that this was the place he would make his new life. He packed his bags along with all the gold he had saved while he had been working and departed for the new colony.

He arrived in Raven Rock just as it was beginning to develop and he found himself in the perfect position to set up a business. The large number of Nords and Imperials on the island made him decide to establish an Inn to give this men somewhere to spend their gold that wasn't a basic shop. He called it The Drunken Nord Tavern and for a while it flourished filled with men with gold to spend. It was now that he earned his nickname Edgar The Portly, his years living a somewhat pampered life in Highrock had left him with a slight girth and compared to the construction workers he was quite large around the belly.

Eventually the money ran out in Raven Rock and Edgar found himself with less and less gold. He faced a serious dillema, should he move away and lose all the money he invested in the tavern or wait it out and hope that there would be a resurgence. One day while he was thinking about the problem the whole Tavern shook, little did he know it at the time but the Ministry of Truth had just crashed into Vivec and the whole of Morrowind was changing. With the invasion of the Argonians and Nords more Dunmer found themselves pushed to Solstheim. His prayers had been answered and his Tavern was saved, with the influx of Dunmer to the island he found himself with more customers. Because of its reputation King Helseth chose his Tavern as the meeting place for the Mercenaries he had hired.
