Background
Older proprietor of Blackmire Dyes and Tannery in Vi-Upper. Runs the front of the business while Lessa manages the shop floor.
Coercion context: The Dwarven letter found concealed under the upstairs bed revealed the Blackmires are not willing conspirators. Harriet is being held under "supervision" to ensure compliance. The letter ordered them to clear the tannery, drain the vats, and vacate storage — Stillforge intended to use the facility.
Session History
Received Silas warmly when he entered with a merchant cover story. Showed customer and contact books listing legitimate clients — a tailor, hunters, a rug-maker. Claimed business had been slow with no active orders. If he was lying, he was doing it "beneath decades of ordinary habit."
Put to magical sleep by Silas when panic threatened to escalate in the storefront above the cellar battle.
Stirred briefly while being bound — looked at Silas and said "You're Killian's boy" before slipping back under. When woken properly, took Lessa's hand and admitted: "We had done what we had done to protect Harriet." Did not posture or deny. When Silas directed them toward Areska for help finding Harriet, Harlan promised he would look for her himself — then he and Lessa fled rather than accept escort.
