Supporting Cast
  • Avi
    A water genasi and co-owner of Steam and Steel. Avi handles the front-end of the business while Embric tends the forge.

    A comely tavern maid, Bonnie is currently employed at the Yawning Portal. Quick with a smile and a charming personality to match, Bonnie lends a special charm to the famous tavern.

    Handsome, eloquent elf serving as an agent of the Zhentarim. Often operates out of the Yawning Portal.
  • Durnan
    Proprietor of the Yawning Portal, Durnan is an accomplished adventurer in his own right. He runs the tavern in his retirement but always keeps his broadsword close at hand behind the bar; jumping in as needed to defend from any unwanted guests crawling up from the dungeon of Undermountain.
  • Embric
    A fire genasi and co-owner of Steam and Steel, Embric is an accomplished metal worker; being a member of the Most Careful Order of Skilled Smiths and Metalforgers, and the Splendid Order of Armorers, Locksmiths, and Finesmiths.

    Elven proprietor of Corellon's Crown, an herbalism shop in Trollskull Alley

    A feisty halfling that swings an axe near as tall as she is. Don't get between her and her sausages, or ye'll regret it!!
  • Hlam
    Reclusive monk living atop Mt. Waterdeep. Speaks in riddles, yet seems aware of everything going on in the city below.
  • Jalester Silvermane
    Senior agent and representative of the Lords' Alliance in Waterdeep. Good-spirited and even-tempered, Jalester is always on the lookout for loyal citizens of Waterdeep who might seek to aid the city.

  • Melannor Fellbranch
    Caretaker of Phaulkonmere. A friendly, is somewhat humorless, half-elf druid.

    Son of Waterdeep's previous open lord - Dagult Neverember. Estranged from his father, but has been the target of recent gang attacks who seem to think Renaer knows something about a fortune of gold his father allegedly hid somewhere in Waterdeep.
  • Sayth Cromley
    Amiable, relaxed and relatable; this former captain of the Waterdeep City Watch is known to occasionally come out of retirement to assist his friend, Barnibus Blastwind in high-profile investigations.

    Suspected agent of the Black Network last seen fleeing the scene of a deadly fireball explosion in front of the Prestigious Pint.
  • Vajra Safahr
    At just over 30 years old, Vajra is the youngest Blackstaff ever known to hold the post. Her respect can be hard-earned, but her patronage is invaluable, as she has access to a multitude of resources within the city and beyond.
  • Volothamp Geddarm
    Acclaimed writer and boisterous personality. Volo is the author of many tomes known by adventurers across the Sword Coast.
  • Captain Zardoz Zord
