Toombs

Toombs is a 90 year old half-Elf Warlock, whose patron is the Fey deity Squelaiche. He spent his first 40 years as a court Warlock to a minor king who ruled over a paltry kingdom in the Northwest Storm Coast consisting of three hamlets. The kingdom was overrun by an orc horde commanded by the orc Battlemaster Hol Kogun, who in turn served a shadowy figure known only as V'nz M'kmahan, who has swept down from the Spine of the World and begun conquering small kingdoms one by one. Toombs spent the next 50 years as an intinerant philosopher, con-artist, street magician, librarian and traveling carnival performer. He now lives in a barrel on the docks in Waterdeep, where locals and travelers alike seek him out for his unrivaled knowledge of arcana, profane solliloquies and street philosophy, all dispensed according to his whims, sometimes with an irreverent sense of puckish fun, but more often crankily and at the price of the seeker's sense of pride.
