PERSONAE · THE VALE

Sergeant Tholer

aka Tholer of the gaol-watch

A House Vandahl sergeant working out of Valenfeld's market, quietly running down the Silt Hands' forged-seal ring from the town side — with too few men and too little the House will admit to.

Tholer keeps the House's law in Valenfeld with a squad that thins every month and a purse that bounced years ago. He is the man the House points at the forged-seal problem — the Silt Hands cutting Vandahl signets to walk contraband through Vandahl's own checkpoints — and he is honest enough to hate that the rot runs up into the gaol he is supposed to trust. He cannot march the garrison into the drains on a hunch, so he hires outlanders to look where he can't: the drop-points, the drain-routes, the couriers who went down and didn't come up. He plays it patient and plain, because loud is how a sergeant with no men gets himself buried in his own memory hole.

secretsHe suspects the seal-cutter is a clerk inside the gaol itself and has not told the House, because he does not yet know who above him he can trust with it.

voice_notesPlain, patient, tired. A lawman who has learned that the only way to keep the little law he can is to never raise his voice about the big rot he can't.
