The Merthy Fellow

Gervas hastings is the first person to die. The last one seems to be, he dies at the end. I think it has to do with this red faced, merthy, corpulent barfellow. Of all the he's gone invariably to all of them his whole life. He doesn't speak until the very end. So you have this good looking guy with the trappings of wealth,. seemingly happy, oarthly kids, got nice kids, got three beautiful kids, bright, not discontented with everything.
