Hubert Kandee
Hubert Kandee is the salt of the earth, a plain-speaking, hard-working farmer who does his best to coax crops out of Fairfax Farms, which he bought a decade ago from Phillip Fairfax. Initially, Kandee seemed to have turned the farm's fortunes around through sheer hard work and the force of will, growing an abundance of wheat along with rye, corn, buckwheat and clover. Though the farm has hit harder times as of late, you'd never know it from Kandee's demeanor. He's as stoic and steady now that he's scratching to make ends meet as he was when he was pulling money in hand over first.
Kandee possesses an unassuming yet deep wisdom, a veritable walking farmer's almanac. Though some people refer to him as "the Dour Flour Man," this is unfair as Hubert isn't as dour as he is matter-of-fact. Yes, he spits chewing tobacco, he wears overhauls smeared with layers of God knows what, and he cusses like a sailor, but that's just his manner. If you look through the exterior and listen to his words, more often than not he speaks with great profundity, striking at the heart of the matter.
True, Kandee made few friends with his calm handling of the multiple and gruesome deaths of farm hands on his land. He dealt with the shocking situations with the same calm, unflappable approach as he does with all of life's challenges, which some took as a lack of respect. More outrageously, others suggested he committed the murders himself, a charge that Kandee would not even deign to respond to. Still, a man of his uncommon wisdom surely knows more than he's willing to let on.
