S’Chall Gudman

S’Chall is a fixer and lawyer for PACT. He travels to adventuring groups who are in need of non-lethal negotiation. S'Chall Gutman is a lawyer and rules advisor for the company known as PACT. He is often brought in for disputes with rival companies or organizations who challenge members of PACT. He known by Adventure Team Grimm for stepping in when Cog and Vom Fass were arrested by the Assembly of the Weave for crimes against magic. He was able to use several obscure laws and statutes to get them released before they could be gentled, or cut off from magic.
"Lady Mew, My name is S'chall Gutman from Head office. I believe some of your team are registering with the Assembly of the weave, is this correct?" Cog as you attempt to resist the idea of "Gentling" The Magus known as Costiture Cove gets a message. A novice comes up and whispers in his ear. You hear him say "What? Who did you say? Oh this is ridiculous, send him in." A Short figure walks through the door an air of authority about him. A Gnome man with his graying hair sweeping back from his temples much like Wolverine, he is dressed in maroon and black monk attire. He speaks "Master Cog, Not another word. I am from head office and I will correct this. Magus Cove release this individual immediately he is no mere Warlock and he is a member in good standing of the Premier Adventuring Company of Tellenheim. He is not under your authority. judging by the Assemblies own law, section 451 line b and c I believe? The part pertaining to sentient magical beings that are new to our plane of reality." Costiture Cove argues back "Now see here, your company cannot interfere with Assembly business! Tell Agrimor that --" S'chall counter with "Actually by the commerce guild's treaty with the Assembly of the Weave of SF 2943 we absolutely DO have the right to make sure that employees in good stead are exempt from any magical meddling by any magical guild or extradimensional / planar organization." Cove sputters once more but after some thinking and whispering by another wizard his jaw slams shut. He storms out of the room, and a novice comes over with a tepid smile and tells you that you are free to go.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

As a young Gnome from the Fletching, out west, S’Chall grew up in a merchant family. His family had sold building materials and livestock feed for generations.  Both of his parents were law abiding to a fault and incredibly strict with every rule whether it was their own or the local Governor’s.  They groomed S’Chall and his brothers and sisters to be a part of the business and create their own store when they turned 22.  At this point S’Chall rebelled and ran off into the forest realms and began adventuring.  After seeing some battles against dangerous creatures and some minor skirmishes in the elven lands he decided to learn how to fight more honorably and with less bloodshed.  He joined the Echerama Monsatery in the city of Orahero and learned they ways of the monks there.  The monks were not only incredible martial artists but also lore masters and intellectuals.  They studied laws of all major areas of Tanaheim, including the complex political situation in the East.  
After graduating he was sent as a traveling peace keeper and emissary to Penthos.  He studied the House system there and sent off notes to the Monastery from time to time.  Eventually he got restless again and began to take on side jobs.  One of those was with a wizard named Agrimor who set him up with an adventuring party.  After learning of Agrimor’s new idea of PACT he became intrigued and is now on retainer to help parties in need of non lethal negotiation.
