Iarno "Glasstaff" Albrecht

Iarno Albrecht was a human wizard and the leader of the Redbrands bandit gang. Iarno was initially a member of the Lords' Alliance, who was sent to the town of Phandalin to establish constabulary (as the town did not have a powerful authority). He broke ties with the Lords' Alliance and created the Redbrands under the guidance of the Black Spider. Iarno knew of the Black Spider from his contacts in the Lords' Alliance and negotiated a meeting with him, seeing a chance to line his pockets.
