Frug Ningle

A 38 year old gnome bard from Newhaven, he grew up hearing about the open sea and learning sea shanties from his uncle Moncrief. His father was a cobbler and his mother was a story teller and teacher. After his uncle disappeared, rumored to have been kidnapped by pirates, Frug left Newhaven and found work as a sailor.

He is charming, loves telling stories and singing songs with his lute or drum, and being the center of attention. Although physically not the most attractive gnome, his personality wins him many friends and admirers. He stands 3'8", is well dressed, has blond dreadlocks, a large nose and a crooked grin. He dreams to one day be rich, and secretly despises those that do not drink.

His family are involved in a cult of Nagoroth, worshippers of an old god of the sea said to resemble a giant squid. Their cult rituals involve trance, sacrifices and communing with the sacrificed using necromancy to communicate with their god.

Shortly after encountering the Brain Artifact, Frug had a magical awakening and acquired keener arcane abilities.
