Nezznar Character in D&D Forgotten Realms | World Anvil

Nezznar

The Black Spider

Nezznar wore a long purple cloak with a red interior, and wielded a black quarterstaff known as a spider staff.

He was quite intelligent and curious, and had knowledge of the arcane arts. The drow did not break into a combat at any given opportunity, but preferred to first study and understand the motives of potential foes. He would, though, betray his enemies after they had exhausted their usefulness. Nezznar was a skilled wizard, and focused on different schools of magic, from evocation to illusion to abjuration.

The ambitious drow had many spies reaching all the way to Neverwinter, Jewel of The North, as well as several giant spiders, which acted as guards.

Circa 1491 DR, the drow promised a share to Iarno "Glasstaff" Albrek of The Lords of Waterdeep in exchange for his loyalty and aid. Nezznar was the true leader of the Redbrand Ruffians, controlling them (as well as the Cragmaw Tribe of goblinoids) in the hopes of finding Wave Echo Cave and unlocking its secrets (while also keeping it a secret for himself).
