Robert for Tallow
Godbench Tallow — Male, landlord, indeterminate middle age
Role: Featured — Particularly suitable for doubling.
Tallow is Norbert's landlord — mildly crotchety by default and resistant to assistance on principle, not out of genuine obstinacy. He is the kind of man who would rather struggle through something himself than admit he could use a hand, but who is perfectly capable of recognising competence when it's demonstrated in front of him and adjusting his attitude accordingly. By the end he is still not effusive, but his appreciation and approval are sincere precisely because they are not easily given.
Voice: Slightly weathered, mildly grumbling, with the particular warmth of someone who expresses approval reluctantly and means it completely when they do.

"As I was explaining to Mr. Grindel, my property simply wasn't constructed with his kind in mind. The doorways are standard human height, the ceilings are eight feet, and the floors weren't designed to bear that kind of weight."
"I suppose we could go up and discuss it on-site. Godbench Tallow, I own a number of properties like this one throughout Big Splinter."
"That… might actually work. The archway idea preserves the historical character whilst allowing for the necessary changes."
