Oskar Bürkli
Sheriff Oskar Bürkli
"Oskar is the 'evil twin,' you might say. Man was born three minutes before his sister, and you'd think that makes him a Titan the way he struts around. Still, the man's a good Sheriff, if you like a strong hand in the law and a lot of stump-hands for pickpockets."
~Seak Beardo Von Shmit, of Abide and Seak's Bizarre Bazaar

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Oskar was born under the auspice of a Necromancer's Moon three minutes before his sister, a fact that he holds over her head with cruelty and relish. He physically abused her for most of their childhood.
He and his sister went on their Becoming together. They were tasked with escorting a caravan to Fort Hopewell. They camped in the wilderness by the Barrier Mountains for a night's rest when they were set upon by werewolves, of all things Oskar barely made it out alive, and only thanks to his sister's selfless bravado.
Upon their successful return, Oskar and his sister lobbied for the Sheriff post in Sacqueline. He bribed Magistrate Beath Grunder, and relegated his sister to the subordinate Sheriff post in Port Hugo. The previous Sheriffs became a notorious bandit duo that has harried the town ever since.
Oskar has earned a reputation for iron-fisted cruelty. He subscribes to the Old Laws, where thieves have their hands chopped off, adulterers are castrated, and rumormongers that cause trouble have their ears nailed to posts. The statue of Scarroh, paid for by Oskar from his own pockets, is covered in the nailed hands, fingers, noses, ears, and genitals of lawbreakers and bandits.
Sexuality
Oskar has a string of relationships that have crashed and burned. More than one woman who has rejected him has wound up in the stockades on trumped up charges.
Employment
Oskar is the Sheriff of Sacqueline and the leader of the Unified Guard Force of Sacqueline and Hugo.
