Gonkulu Brunkblug
Gonkulu is a member of the Verdant Sigil operating in Ventenheim. He hails from the swamp region outside of Lake Ventrus. He has a familar who is a large green dragonfly named Bibo.
Gonkulu left his village when he was a teenager. The simple and violent swamp politics often offended him, and he spent much of his time communing with the spirits and wildlife of the nearby forests. One day an emissary of Maka'lua'a, a dryad by the name of Tresth'mane Sylvanus, came to him. The two spent hours talking in the middle of a peaceful grove. It was on this day that Gonkulu pledged himself to protecting the forests and swamps instead of trying to rule them.
