Skuzzoc
Skuzzoc is a former Magic Academy student who was expelled for cheating, reckless use of magic, excessive tardiness, and various other offenses. He went off on his own some months ago and found his way to Lund and then to the mysterious islet called 'Hwen' off its coast, which was spooky and largely avoided. Holing up there in an abandoned building he found, he practiced his magic and eventually managed to charm a ferocious beast referred to as a 'Swamp Dragon'. Emboldened, he started spooking fishermen and things escalated. He gained a reputation and went mad with power, setting fire to boats and stealing supplies (mostly fish).
The building he found was actually once the Sanctum of the Cult of Abyssos, that was deserted when the group was disbanded over a decade ago following the heroic efforts of Four Heroes, an adventuring group consisting of Zeke, Vaylin, Pellton Dunkirk, and Lemarra Nieaussa. The unholy magicks of the Sanctum left the island unhallowed and corrupted.
Then, Lumina's Dragoons (along with Ness Dunkirk and Vendra Hale) came to investigates the stories of this False Wyrm Lord, fighting their way through the swamp to ultimately challenge Skuzzoc. After a pitched battle, the rogue magician surrendered and was left at the mercy of the adventurers who planned to return him to Lund for judgement.
It was later decided that he would be put to work in Yngis' shop as penance for his misdeeds. The party brought him to Marabin and left them with their old friend. The party also insisted Yngis come up with a good nickname for this scoundrel.
