Kosh Clearbarker

Kosh [spelling?] is a middle-aged male gnome currently serving as the Starosta in Alfield. As an NPC, he is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
He had a ruddy complexion, slick parted dark hair, wearing very clean maroon and gold robes, that would lend an air of arrogance, would they were not hopping around and pointing fingers as he spoke in a loud grading* voice.

Personality
This agitated gnome didn't deal with stress well.

Background
Kosh was assigned as Alfield's Starosta by powers in Rexxentrum eight years ago.

After the gnoll attack and the death of the law master, he reluctantly and stating he had no choice but to, took on the additional responsibilities of law master as well.

Watchmaster Bryce Felid
Bryce and Kosh's relationship was contentious in the wake of the gnoll attack on Alfield. Bryce wanted to retaliate against the gnolls immediately, but Kosh didn't want to spare any of the town's few remaining Crown's Guard. Instead, he commanded that a vigilant perimeter be kept to deflect any potential further incursions.

Bryce then asked to hire a mercenary strength to retaliate and reduce the strength of the gnolls. The starosta consented as long as Bryce hired outside forces, not wanting any more of Alfield's citizen’s deaths on his record.
