Gallan Westman

 is a carpenter and first mate on The Mistake. As an NPC, is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Gallen Westman is a human with an unshaven and patchy beard, a mixture of scars and possible childhood acne making it incomplete. Skin is tinted dark from years of sunburn damage and general seafaring lifestyle. His hair is a lighter brown but appears darkened and matted down due to lacking maintenance of hygiene. He gets a giant visible scar on the back of his head from Jester's axe.

Personality
Gallan is an everyman with an everyman disposition. He is frightened when provoked but will fight in the hour of need. He also is a man that takes pride in his work and feels greatly accomplished when others sing his praises. Gallan Westman is also a diligent worker as he will continue the job he was enlisted to do even after the original crew and captain died. He has shown himself to be a warm and empathetic person despite the company he keeps and had become protective of the new crew of the Mist by the time they'd reached Darktow.

Since Gallan was the only surviving member of the original Mist crew, Jester and Nott appointed him as the new first mate of the recently rechristened Mistake.

Trivia

 * It is unusual to have Gallan (the ship's boatswain or, "bosun") appointed first mate, as that role typically goes to the ship's quartermaster.
 * With Fjord removed from the ship and indoctrinated into the Squall-Eaters crew, Gallan Westman a first mate is now technically acting captain of The Mistake.
