Background:
Son of an unsuccessful haberdasher, Heward grew up in a lower class neighborhood near Underbridge. His father was an unapologetic Cheliaxian supremacist who blamed the Varisians for his lack of wealth and status. As there were plenty of Varisians in the neighborhood, Heward learned young the the self-fulfilling nature of his father's views.
At a young age he stole an apple from the cart of a halfling merchant on a dare from his Chel gang. As he ran with the fruit his muscles seized up and he tumbled to the ground. His gang fled, leaving him behind. That was his introduction to the Halfman Tingel, merchant and devotee of Erastil.
As he had other boys, Halfman found no real evil in Heward and took him under his wing. Halfman had a loose association of a dozen youngsters of all stripes, Chel, Varisian, halfling, even a Forlorn elf. Halfman found the boys work, tolerated no interracial fights and created a community for the boys. After work they would hang out at the dock down the hill from Halfman's small house. Heward found a few Varisian friends and discovered the inaccuracies of many of his father's views. It led to bitter disagreements within the family.
As the boys grew older Halfman would try to find them more permanent jobs with his many contacts around the city. Heward found he had no talent or liking for business. He drifted from job to job while Halfman tried to find him something suitable.
Ironically, when his Heward's father did lose his business, it was because of Varisians. Scarnzi thugs trashed the store and stole his stock when he failed to pay protection money. The event crystallized Heward's goals however. Shortly thereafter he joined the city watch.
It's been three years. Heward has been promoted once, but still walks a beat. He hopes this new unit will give him an opportunity to get ahead, and to move out of his parent's apartment.
