Baldwin the Bold and his Bad Batch are in Sedesend, and frequently perform at the Merry Minstrel.
Baldwin the Bold was a young gnomish bard with bright clothing and an unending enthusiasm about music. He acted friendly to most, and was drawn most to other accomplished or skilled bards.
Baldwin the Bold, like most bards, sought to become famous and popular. He often staked out parties of nobles and royalty, hoping to land a job as their retained bard by loudly performing near them. He ambushed Shell Silverstein in a similar fashion at Serenity's Manzilday Celebration, and was imparted some encouragement and advice by the old bard.
Baldwin the Bold was able to make connections just about anywhere. He had a wealth of insight on the bard-scene within Sedesend, primarily from those in and around the Merry Minstrel, and was at least familiar with every group that performed in the Battle of the Bards in 1113 GE.
