Paladin of the Church of the Reluctant Goddess, this fighting feegle joined the Fucking A Team to help destroy the Cult of the Devourer.
Yan Tan Tethera hailed from the Thuun Mine Clan of Nac Mac Feegle. He joined the party just after they had lost Zazik in a Cursed Tomb. Because of his Feegle nature, he was accompanied by a handler(read: babysitter) from the Church of the Reluctant Goddess. They agreed to let him accompany the party, mostly because it would mean getting rid of him for a while.
Despite being a Paladin, Yan Tan(Who's name literally means 'One, two, three' in the Feegle languange), is about as 'Feegle' as they come. His time with the party was often hallmarked by his jovial willingness to fight anyone, drink anything, and steal anything,(usually in the service of the party). And because 'you never have just one feegle', he often called upon his nearby clan members to aide the party.
While on the frozen tundra, he was instrumental in introducing the party to the Frozen Tundra Feegles, or 'Vikyboys' as they called themselves, who assisted the party along the way.
Yan Tan accompanied the party through to the north, to Sigrid's clan, and part of the way back. Just before Zazik's 'Box' was delivered to the party, Yan was called away by his uncle, the Gonnagle of Thuun Mine, for a clan emergency.
Yan Tan currently resides in The Thuun Mine mound with his new wife Jeannie, who will become the Thuun Mine Kelda, upon the imminent death of Yan Tan's Mother. He is still learning how to do 'The Explainin' in anticipation of being the 'Big Man' of the clan.
History
Yan Tan established a close platonic relationship with Breeze over the course of their adventures, often riding on her shoulder when allowed. Yan Tan considers her a 'Hag', which is a feegle title of great respect for any woman with magical power that isn't a Kelda. The 'Big Hag' appears to some kind of feared God among feegles. With great respect comes, great fear. Breeze has, on many occasions been able to herd and manage Yan Tan with 'The Tappin o' the feets', 'The Foldin o' the arms' and 'The Pursin' o' the lips'. It was also with Breeze's help that Yan Tan was able to practice 'The Explainin'(Clever lying) which will be a valuable skill for him once he and Jeannie become the leaders of the Thuun Mine Clan. Yan Tan can and does lie to Breeze almost constantly, but in an obvious way, which is sign of strong friendship. You only lie convincingly to your enemies.
When he left the party, he gave Breeze his 'Takin off hat', used to show respect at funerals.
