A quirky, curious, purple-obsessed Gnome that owns the shop Old Xoblob's Shop in Waterdeep. He is utterly smitten and idolizes the Beholder, Xanathar, and even has a stuffed Beholder hanging above the main door on the inside of his shop. Everything he sells has some purple on it, somewhere, and the shelves are jam-packed with curios and tchotchkes from floor to ceiling.
His shop is where Z purchased a large, coalish stone that later was discovered to be The Nightstone Shard
