Biography
Tevari Isles
He burst into Advar's Tavern screaming about his missing apprentice. Grognock was able to intimidate him into calming down a bit, and he explained, kind of, his problems to the party.
William accompanied the party back to his house, imploring them to find his apprentice. He seemed to be incapable of providing any detail. He later followed the party all the way to Havarson's Keep, and began his screaming again. He later went back to his house with the party as they began to investigate his missing apprentice again.
William appeared once again at the bandit hideout, blocking the entrance to a back room. Upon the defeat of Kreegal, William passed out. Merin picked him up to carry him out of the hideout. Upon arriving back at his house in Tevari Port Town, William regained consciousness. He rewarded the party for their help, and identified the magic items they picked up in the hideout.
Following the destruction of Tevari Port Town, William decided to stay behind to help others escape. While Merin was confident of his well-being, his current fate is ultimately unknown.
