Member of the Red Wizards of Thay. Uses zombies to assist him in his exploration and studies. His present area of interest is the ancient lore and sites of The Netheril in the vicinity of the Sword Mountains. He has recently been joined by a dwarf - a subject of (unwilling) possession by a wraith (who he assisted) named Mormesk. These two have assisted Our Party while in turn receiving benefits themselves along the way.
He has returned to studying the Old Owl Well and traces of the magical ore in the waters, following on Mormesk's thoughts regarding refining the material.
