Gnut Weaseltail Character in Melyria | World Anvil

Gnut Weaseltail

Archmage Gnut Himpill (a.k.a. Weaseltail)

Gnut Weaseltail is a colorful fellow, that leads the Silver Shore Academy of Magi. He is known to be rather unbearable, tricksy, and of course; extremely intelligent.   Today he might be Archmage in Academy of Magi, Master of illusions and full of surprises, but Gnut had rather humble beginnings. That might, though, make him even a bit more terrifying. Despite his jovial, open and energetic appearance very few know what truly goes under that blue-and-brown hair, but maybe the real question is; does anyone even want to?

Personal history

Gnut Weaseltail was born on Dec 13th, 3740 AoS to Fnubles and Mythe Himpill, in Lakeside Hamlet, next to Lake of the Lost, middle of Great Forest of the Silver Shore Island. He was the fourth child of the family with very humble beginnings but would be soon whisked away by the things much bigger than himself.

Child genius
Fnubles Mudboot and Mythe Beebug from the family of Himpills lived rather simple lives in Lakeside Hamlet. Fnubles would hunt, fish and craft, he would do trades with local druidic tribes and do chores for people of Leuthil Tum. Meanwhile, Mythe would keep bees for honey and make salves, cures candles, all kinds of elixirs, beauty products and of course, mead. They got five children; firstborn son Klik, their only daughter Lire, then son Klen, then Gnut and last but not least Gnez. But as little Gnut started to grow, things turned out rather strange.   While all of the children were talented and energetic in their unique ways, it was troublesome Gnut that caused an extra headache for his parents.

History

Gnut and Dezzner met while involved with the rebellion group Moonstalkers. According to eyewitnesses, the two became fast friends in the course of a single evening.  

First half an hour he (Dezzner) would stare Gnut like he was a mad man, but by the end of the night, they were both laughing and already plotting about word domination.   Hah, I remember how Gilbert would turn to me and say: "I think we just made a huge mistake and created a monster."   We knew they would get along, but I don't think anyone expected what would follow.

friend that introduced the two
  While highly unlikely that it indeed was that simple, it was clear from the get-go that there was something special between the energetic gnome and silent drow. Starting as occasional get-togethers and favors between the two, the pair formed a deep friendship, that would seem to make them inseparable.

Nicknames & Petnames

Gnut tends to call Dezzner by several names, including "Prince of Doom and Gloom" and "Chessie," often having teasing tone. Dezzneron another hand doesn't use nicknames at least in public.

Commonalities & Shared Interests

On first glance, it is very hard to tell what Gnut and Dezzner have in common; from their energy to their presentation and Pickering they seem like two very different people. However, in closer examination, it becomes rather obvious that the two share a much deeper understanding with one another than it first appears.   While presented in drastically different ways, both Gnut and Dezzner are known from their endless curiosity, thirst for learning, want to try things "just for the heck of it", a deep belief in personal freedoms, twisted sense of humor and devotion to their respective principles. They both love the study of magic, good wine, giving people what they deserve and enjoying simple things of life. Neither is particularly concerned about how the world around them perceives them, and both are unable to keep their noses from other people's business.

Shared Acquaintances

Both Dezzner and Gnut were part of both Moonstalkers and The Five Mages, and thus share many aquintances. Though, as Gnut would put it "the drow usually does the talking unless he pissed them off."
