Fred Holland

Frederick Michael "Fred" Holland is a tavern keeper in Winksomsin, Murcia. A friendly, rotund man with a boyish face and unruly red hair, Fred grew up the son of a fisherman in Winksomsin. When he came of age, he started a career as a fisherman but decided it was not for him. Knowing that the other fishermen needed a place to drink, he saved up until he could buy a building on the south end of Main Street in Winksomsin and opened a tavern, which he called The Wet Pelican. Fred runs The Wet Pelican with the help of his half-orc wife, Melissa.

In the campaign
Shortly before Session One, Fred became annoyed with a colony of sewer rats that repeatedly broke into his basement and ate his stores. He posted an ad in the paper looking for monster hunters to come and slay the rats. The party responded, and he paid them one gold coin each for every rat they killed.

Following Session Two, Fred allowed the party to stay rent free in The Wet Pelican for the rest of the time they were in town, as the local heroes attract attention.
