Garrick Hulme is the broad-bellied, shamelessly self-indulgent owner of The Gilded Cask, a low-lit tavern thick with smoke, laughter, and secrets. A former dockhand turned innkeeper, Garrick has cultivated a reputation for strong ale, loose morals, and a grin that suggests he knows exactly what you’re thinking.

Blunt, bold, and unapologetically flirtatious, Garrick delights in making patrons blush with crude jokes, lingering looks, and scandalous compliments—always skirting the line between hospitality and impropriety. He prides himself on reading people quickly, teasing out their vices as easily as he pours a drink.

Beneath the sweat-sheen bravado and leering humour, Garrick is sharp-witted and surprisingly perceptive. He hears everything, forgets nothing, and trades in rumours as readily as coin. Whether he’s offering a refill, a risky suggestion, or an eyebrow-raising proposition, Garrick always makes sure his guests leave with warm cheeks, lighter purses, and stories they won’t soon forget.
