Mental characteristics
Personal history
In life, Ol was not like he is today. Instead, he was a mighty kraken, a terror of the waves and destroyed countless ships, against the wishes of the Credell Empire. He was found guilty, and batalions of soldiers were sent to kill the dangerous creature. He did not go down without a fight, the seas turning red for days after his defeat. His spirit moving on to The Abyssal Realms after his death, as an evil spirit.
The gods agreed with the Credell Empire, and chose for him to take the lowly form of an octopus. Spending years in anguish, the great old kraken was given a rare opportunity to escape torment by Zasslic the Seven, in becoming a creature capable of summoning by mortal races, but would require him to destroy everything about his old life. The old kraken agreed, and was named Ol.
It did not take long for Ol's name to spread to the mortal realm, with Orzhov scholars detailing as much as they can, they found his name through other summoned creatures, and one bored pair of scholars decided to see what the octopus could do. Finding little use for him on land, they gave him a bucket of water, and began to teach him how to make and pour drinks. Bored of his life, he learned from these scholars as time and time again they summon him. Eventually, he became known as "The Ol Bartender." His name was given to many a person, looking for cheap labor to help with magically inclined bar owners. And so, his name spread to the corners of the earth, and is well known in party communities.

Intellectual Characteristics
As a summoned creature, Ol has a fairly simplified mind, but is an expert when it comes to bartending. In places without a menu, people know to say their order to Ol, who will wag his tentacle in front of their face if the drink is unavailable. Should they say the name of a drink he can create, he instead shakes his tentacle at the bar in front of them, and will accept payment, never take a tip, and always return exact change.
Some people will ask him for the special, for which Ol will always have the supplies on hand. He creates a Black Negroni, of which due to his nature, is always in supply due to his summoned nature. However, he can only produce his custom Black Negroni once a minute.
