Tafel is the innkeeper of The Burning Table in Altdorf. He is a friendly fellow who keeps a tidy inn, which seems to take up most of his time, what with the occasional bar room brawl and festvivities of drunken revellers. Most of his clientele are travellers coming in through the North Gate, and The Burning Table is a common haunt for sell swords and adventurers. As such it has a somewhat chequered reputation among the Altdorf populace, and most customers are from outside the capital. Tafel is well liked in the neighbourhood and can be a veritable fount of information regarding the comings and goings of people through the North Gate. He has a marked disdain for the City Watch, whom he feels are nothing but another breed of thugs up to no good. He is married to Greta, and they have three children; Hans, Arnold and Gretchen. Tafel hopes to be able to sell the inn and buy a small house in the countryside sometime in the future, and is always on the lookout for likely buyers.
