Mouse

Small even for a halfling, "Mouse" (his real name is Dudley Talbot, but no one at the Keep knows him by anything other than his nickname) is exceptionally skilled but an absolute coward.
He settled in Darmshall several years ago and set up shop as a locksmith, but the bulk of his business is done as a pawnbroker, offering down-on-their luck adventurers and merchants money in exchange for valuable items as collateral. He then sells the collateral if the loan is not repaid within a set period (typically 30 days).
Mouse can easily be tempted to join a group by the promise of treasure: His innate caution is overcome only by his avarice. While with the party he can be extremely useful so far as opening locks and detecting traps goes, they will have to offer him strong incentives to get him to scout ahead or run any unusual risk. Mouse will not steal from fellow adventurers ("honor among thieves"), though he might pocket some usual find if he comes across it with no one else to see.
