Reckon is the sole guard of the small frontier town of Phandalin, serving directly under Townmaster Harbin. In a settlement increasingly plagued by local threats, most notably a group of ruffians known as the Redbrands who actively harass the townsfolk, Reckon represents the entirety of the town’s official law enforcement. Given that Townmaster Harbin is thoroughly overwhelmed by the duties of his office and the dangers surrounding the town, Reckon’s singular presence underscores the severe lack of security and defense in Phandalin prior to the arrival of helpful adventurers.
