Ezrek Thynning

Ezrek Ezrekson Thynning was a Valdic shepherd, drunkard, senator, and alleged one-time horse-wrangler from Riverheim. 
==Biography==
=== Early Years===
Not much is known about the early life of Ezrek. He is presumed to have emigrated from his birthplace in Sørligste, with his family, across the ocean to Eldham as a baby. The family landed and settled in the Tortugan colonies where he grew up with his brother Iknir and would have learned the essential skills of being a shepherd from his father. It is thought that his love of alcohol began around this time.
=== Shepherd and Senator===
After the death of his wife in a fishing accident, Ezrek moved to Riverheim town with his son. He asked the mayor Eddax, for a small plot of land for him to keep sheep and this request was granted, as long as the sheep remained healthy. Keeping a flock of sheep and shearing their fleeces, this was Ezrek's main occupation and source of income.
Upon being able to find no one else willing to take the job, Jarl Eddax asked Ezrek to become the Senator for Riverheim province. No election was held for Riverheim and Ezrek was made Senator the same day. He would write in his journal: "Mayor didnt have anyone else around to ask so today I became Senator of Riverheim province. My only goal will be to get the tavern running again. And maybe some bridges to Lyndell if they happen to have a tavern."
===Mayor's Mead===
Ezrek was entrusted by Eddax with the location of his finest mead. He promptly stole as many bottles as he could carry. Legend says that the stash survives to this day, however he has never told anyone where he stashed it.
=== Other ventures ===
On his own account, Ezrek claimed that he had drunkenly stumbled into the tavern one night, after making off with the Mayor's Mead, and encountered a "horse of be having no flesh" of whom he had an arguement with regarding the price of brandy in Riverheim. He stated that this has only happened on one occasion.
After a completion of a Gladiator Arena by the local tavern owner, Ezrek agreed to fight Saul, the tavern owner. This fight was quickly lost by Ezrek who had drunk a total of 5 bottles of mead prior. He blamed the loss on the quality of the mead.
===Death===
Ezrek was discovered drowned in the village well, mead in hand, after drinking in the local tavern. He was survived by his only son, Essere.
