Who is Honker from Life Expectancy and what is their importance?

At about fifty years of age, Honker is bald, and has shaggy black eyebrows that are thick enough to knit. He has an enormous, ruddy nose with spiderwebs of burst capillaries that could be referred to as a drinker's nose. He is brooding and suspicious, with a thick neck and burly in stature. Despite his size, he is agile and unafraid to work.
