Lord Dagult Neverember
Dagult Neverember is the wealthy Lord Protector of Neverwinter and former Open Lord of Waterdeep.
Neverember is tall, broad-shouldered, and strikingly good-looking, with angular features, a mane of silver-flecked "pumpkin-brown" hair, and deep-set but shining dark eyes. He is often called a "lion of a man" for both his appearance and bearing, and is said to have the look of a strong ruler.
A consummate politician, Neverember is a capable and inspiring leader who is known to be both brave and stately in the face of opposition. He outwardly embodies the ideals of moderation, honesty, and responsibility. He always acts decisively and firmly, with a clear-eyed view of the costs and sacrifices that his decisions entail, although his cunning and brutal pragmatism has earned him the nickname "Dagger" Neverember. He is also ambitious, proud, manipulative, and considers himself to be superior to everyone else—which makes him overconfident.
Before becoming the Lord Protector of Neverwinter, he fell out of favour with a number of the Lords of Waterdeep, creating strained relationships between Waterdeep and Neverwinter. In the years since some of the Lords have openly moved against him, blocking trade agreements and extreme cases possibly hired Zhentarim assassins to murder him. However no solid evidence has been obtained to this point.
