Stebby Surehand
Steebold (a.k.a. Stebby Surehand)
A mercenary from Dillbrige in the Third Age. Steebold, called Stebby by his friends, was captured by the Sindaeri in TA 3186, during the Drow assault on Dolmorian. Stebby was returning home to Dillbrige and was just passing through the town of Brenhaven with his mercenary partner and friend, Bargo, when the Dark Elves attacked. The two mercenaries helped defend the town, but the outcome was never in doubt.
Stebby and Bargo were imprisoned in the Sindaerin stronghold of Ázzurburán, along with a Brenhaven barrel-maker named Garl Cooperson. They were rescued by the Strangers, during their own escape from the Sindaerin prison, and accompanied them on their adventure through Ázzurburán and the sunken keep of Carthas. During his adventures underground, Stebby became friends with Garl and the Strangers.
When the adventurers defeated the Illithid master of Carthas, and raised the keep above ground, Stergen asked Stebby, Bargo, and Garl to accompany him and the Strangers, but Stebby and Bargo wanted to help Garl get back to Brenhaven, to help him search for his friends and family.
Stebby stood about six feet tall. He was a lithe man, whose wiry frame belied his strength. He had black, disheveled hair, a small moustache, and bright, blue eyes. He spoke with the slightly cockney accent of Dillbrige.
