Healaugh's family have lived in Caftenar as long as they can remember. They are a valued part of the community, known for their fishing, sailing and boatbuilding skills. Some people (jokingly) claim there is magic involved, which Healaugh derides. "Nothing but good craftsmanship - why would anyone want more anyway?". For a halfling, Healaugh is remarkably ill at ease with people. He talks to them, knows their ways and likes them, but alone of his large family, he feels like an outsider. He really hates pirates. They mess up his sea.
Healaugh's ability to follow and find shoals of fish and deep understanding of the sea have brought him respect. In his own way, Healaugh is proud of this (although he'd never admit it). He puts all his skills down to good early training and following his instincts. Among his community, Healaugh is regarded as a bit of an odd one, but his crews always come home safely with good catches. In Caftenor, that means a lot.
Since he spends most of his life on a boat, Healaugh is very brown, and looks a bit older than he is. He doesn't bother with non-essentials and although he's clean and tidy, that's about the most you can say about his dress sense. He's never quite mastered small talk. There's no need for it at sea. There it's either an emergency or it isn't. He's basically a bit shy and prefers fish as they're simpler.
