Tovar Oakheart is a seasoned leatherworker and co-owner of The Oakleaf Tannery in Newhaven. Born into a long line of craftsmen, he inherited his family's dedication to the trade, honing his skills from a young age under the tutelage of his father. Tovar's meticulous craftsmanship and unwavering commitment to quality have made his tannery one of the most respected establishments in the region. With a strong, quiet demeanor, Tovar is a man of few words but deep convictions. His work speaks for him—each piece of leather armor, every hand-tooled belt or satchel, is a testament to his skill. He values tradition but isn't afraid to experiment with new techniques to improve his craft. His patience and steady hands make him an expert in both tanning and detailed leather carving, and his creations are known for their durability and artistry. Despite his often stoic nature, Tovar is deeply devoted to his wife, Elyra. Their partnership, both in life and business, has allowed The Oakleaf Tannery to flourish. While Elyra handles many of the shop's customers and finer decorative designs, Tovar ensures that every item leaving the tannery is of the highest quality. He is respected by his peers and apprentices, who admire his unwavering work ethic and his keen eye for perfection. Outside of his work, Tovar enjoys simple pleasures, hunting in the surrounding forests, sharpening his tools by the fire, and watching the sun set over Newhaven's rooftops. He takes pride in knowing that his craft not only provides for his family but also equips adventurers, hunters, and travelers with gear that might one day save their lives. |
