Hamish is an older, mature man, with a good, but tired soul. One of the leading group, he acts as a father, even grandfather (depending on the age of casting) to many characters, and is especially close to Nyx and Thyme. 

Despite often having to take a role of leadership, this poor man Wished for retirement many years ago now, and tragedy took is from him. There is a sadness to Hamish, one most people could easily miss, as if he is grieving something he never quite had. Perhaps he is. 

His Taint is most alike the Hanahaki disease, though as opposed to flowers it is sand, and leaves him with a rasping voice, wheezing and regularly having violent coughing fits. 

Hamish is loyal to the end, and having had the luck to live as much of his life as he has, can be a little less defensive of himself- being quick to offer solutions at his own cost. But, in the end, he is endearing, somewhat humourous, and the father so many need. 

Good luck!
