Hegerty Character in Ararim | World Anvil

Hegerty

Personal History

Hegerty is a middle-aged halfling with a history as colorful as the hats he used to sell. Born into a family of hat merchants in a small village, he learned the art of hat-making and trading from a young age. His family's business thrived for generations, and they were known for their exquisite and unique headwear.   However, as Hegerty grew older, he developed a fondness for spirits that would prove to be his undoing. His passion for hats slowly dwindled as his obsession with drink consumed more and more of his days. He tried to continue the family business, but his frequent inebriation and the resulting poor business decisions led to a decline in both sales and reputation.

 

Physical descriptions

Appearance & Attire

Hegerty stands at a modest three feet tall, typical for a halfling. His once-neatly groomed brown hair is now a tangled mess, and his potbelly suggests a fondness for hearty meals and ale. He often sports a disheveled outfit, a far cry from the well-tailored clothing he used to wear when managing his hat store.   Hegerty's attire always includes one constant: a battered and faded top hat that he rarely removes, regardless of the occasion or his level of inebriation. He believes this hat brings him luck, although recent events might suggest otherwise.
