Description
Brock Helmstream is a towering man, standing over 6 and a half feet tall, weighing well over 250 pounds. His intimidating stature is contrasted heavily by his soft spoken and respectful tone. When he isn't serving customers, he is often found cleaning up the bar to an expert degree, showing a monumental respect for his place of employment.

Not a fan of violence, Brock has a strict no-fighting rule in his bar. Being a bar full of adventurers, this rule often gets broken, but Brock has never physically removed anyone from his bar personally. Instead, due to the respect gained from the patrons of his establishment, the patrons often toss out unwanted guests on Brock's behalf, to which he has expressed his gratitude with free drinks for those willing to offer the service. He has also been known to offer work around his bar to those down on their luck, in exchange for meals and drink or for pay, depending on the situation.

He has been known to ask people about their homeland and hobbies without the patron disclosing where they are from or what they like to do. Capable of deescalating nearly any situation, Brock keeps to himself and only seems to come to those who need to talk, leaving others who would prefer silence and solitude to their meals and drinks.
