Dagult Neverember

Dagult Neverember is the wealthy Lord Protector of Neverwinter and formerly the Open Lord of Waterdeep. He is a member of the Lords' Alliance. His relationship with his son, Renaer, is estranged and complicated, eventually turning into mutual animosity. During his time as Open Lord, he left Renaer in charge of managing his properties, although his son frequently chafed at his father's wishes and expectations. During his tenure as Open Lord, Neverember took advantage of several opportunities to enrich himself and to further his goals in Neverwinter at Waterdeep's expense. In one scheme, he stole half a million dragons from Waterdeep's coffers, and to conceal this sum, he made an arrangement with the gold dragon Aurinax: in exchange for the Dragonstaff of Ahghairon, Aurinax would guard the gold until Neverember wanted it back. For secrecy, he then removed the information about the gold's secret location from his mind, and stored it in an artifact known as the Stone of Golorr.
