Belor Hemlock

Belor Hemlock is the sheriff of the Varisian town of Sandpoint. He replaced the previous sheriff, Casp Avertin, who was murdered by the serial killer known as Chopper in 4702 AR. Originally a member of the Shriikirri-Quah tribe of the Shoanti, Belor abandoned his heritage when he took on the role of sheriff, changing his last name from its native, "Viskalai," to it's Chelish translation of "Hemlock," much to the dismay of his brother, Garridan. Hemlock is romantically involved with Kaye Tesarani, the proprietor of the Pixie's Kitten brothel. Although this is not public knowledge, it is not as secret an affair as either would like, and has further strained the sheriff's relationships with the more conservative and traditional families in town.

The sheriff is a large, powerfully built dark skinned Shoanti. Despite the fact that his lineage belongs to one of the most ferocious warlike tribes in Varisia, Belor is always calm and civilized. Those who don't know him well often consider him to be grim and brooding, but those who do recognize that he is simply being mindful of the consequences of his actions and the actions of those around him.

He has called upon WBACo and The Second Party several times to protect the town and investigate incidents.
