Burned Bar's Bad Boy Bartender Barbecued

The riot and subsequent arson fire that gutted The Laughing Cadaver on day 177 also marked the end of the man regulars knew as the day bartender - Bernard Lanu. However, Tattler sources have revealed that Cadaver's bad boy bartender was actually born Jeffrey Taylor Hamilton, and was the eldest son of a respected and well-to-do family on Rhylanor.
What was the child of a wealthy merchant household doing working the bar in the most notorious hangout in Old Port? Was he hiding out? On the run? From what? Or who?

The Tattler has discovered that Jeff's was a troubled childhood and adolescence, marked by outbursts of anger and violence that the Hamilton family wasn't able to handle on their own, so at the age of 16, arrangements were made for young Jeff to enter the Imperial Marine Corps.

The troubled teen's parents' hopes that military life could turn their child's life around were first raised when Jeff became a decorated member of the elite Marine Commandos, and then dashed when less than two years later their son was dishonorably discharged for desertion. Jeff left the service under the cloud of cowardice, and seemed to disappear.

Now, tragically, Jeff Hamilton has reappeared, only to become part of yet another Regina crime scene. The Tattler of course, extends our condolences to the Hamilton family, along with an invitation to respond in our pages, in whatever way they desire.

Red arrow indicates where remains were found.

The Tattler hopes that the truth about this suspicious and hideous death will, once uncovered, be of some comfort to the grieving family on Rhylanor.

We will keep our readers informed of any new developments in this case, and will do our best to obtain copies of any official documents or press releases.

Displaced Scum Wandering Up Port?

The Laughing Cadaver was a watering hole known for the unsavory nature of its clients. Organleggers, Satan's Slammers, and other criminals were reputed to frequent the Cadaver's bar and tables. Even if all the rumors about the bar are not true, it was certainly a hangout for thieves, muscle, hookers, and mercs - to name just a few.
So, while they wait for their home away from home to rise like some tarnished phoenix from its own ashes, where will the Cadaver's denizens go?
While the Cadaver's owner, an exquisitely elfin young woman known as "Shiv", waits for the investigators to give the go-ahead for reconstruction, will the bar's regulars move to the Nasty Panda, or the Purple Oyster? Or will the lounge in the Ambassadore Hotel take on a new sort of ambiance?
It remains to be seen where the temporarily barless will settle, but you won't find any of the Tattler staff standing between them and their beer - wherever they're drinking.
