Iarno "Glasstaff" Albrek

Glasstaff stands at an average height, his slightly stooped posture hinting at a life spent in contemplation and manipulation. His once-pristine robes, bearing the symbol of the Lord's Alliance, now show signs of wear and neglect, suggesting a fall from grace. His sharp blue eyes are framed by a trimmed beard, and his thin lips often curl into a half-smile that exudes a mix of condescension and self-assuredness. His attire, while not ostentatious, is functional and adorned with a staff of polished glass – the source of his moniker.

Formerly a respected member of the Lord's Alliance, Glasstaff's true allegiance lies with the Black Spider, a shadowy figure orchestrating events behind the scenes. Driven by personal ambition and a desire for power, Glasstaff betrayed his previous alliances to further the Black Spider's goals. He has taken control of the Redbrand gang, a group of thugs and bandits that infest the town of Phandalin, enforcing their dominance through fear and intimidation.
