Edrell Odenthorpe is the recently elected Sheriff of the Wydmoor City Guard. In his year in the position, he has shown himself to be a capable and effective Sheriff. He has been particularly popular among the poor warren-folk and rising merchants for his effective and fair law enforcement in the less enfranchised areas. However, his tumultuous rise to power has left him with powerful enemies among the established, traditional power players in Wydmoor.
Edrell's ascension to the Sheriff's office upset the traditional power base considerably and is still a hot topic in Wydmoor. Shortly after arriving to the city, Edrell began to distribute large amounts of literature and money to residents of the slums. This move served two important purposes--not only did it cause a surge in his popularity, but it allowed many of the disenfranchised to afford the ballot tax and cast a vote for Edrell for Sheriff. His victory disposed a Wydsomme loyalist from office, and has subsequently replaced many of the Wydsomme cronies amongst the guardsmen with his own loyalists.
There are a host of rumors about Edrell's background, all of which are impossible to verify. He arrived in the city and established shop as a bookbinder, but appears to have been a leather worker by trade before. However, his election tactics clearly reveal he is a man of substantial resources that are likely unattainable in either profession. Many of the warren-folk speculate that he is a brigand leader or a gold-conjuring alchemist, but little information exists to substantiate these claims.
The player characters, particularly Germain, are currently working closely with Edrell. Recently, they have learned that he has a crow familiar, providing some substance to the alchemist rumor--at least he is likely to be a spellcaster. This notion is further supported by his apparent ability to make token and minor magical items, some of which were presented to the party as a reward for discovering and opening the abandoned temple.
