Glimm Turren

Glimm Turren is the Aphorian spymaster. He first met the group when they drew the attention of one of his agents by talking rather loudly about corruption in Trava in the lobby of the Conchord. After meeting with them, he informed them of the impending vote on the war with Arta, suspicious about the timing with this rise in Lolth's activity. He gave them a list of how he believed the city states would vote on the war, and urged them to attempt to swing city-states to vote no. He is married to Janusch Valmorn, the Aphorian ambassador to the Conchord.

Appearance

Glimm is of medium height for a gnome, standing around 3'5". He has tan, nut-colored skin with wrinkles that make him look older than he is. His dark hair is pulled back into a tight braid. He appears to favor dark, practical colors.

Personality

The laugh lines around his eyes suggest a sense of humor, but the party has only met him during a stressful time. He seemed good-natured when the party met him, and was relatively quick to believe the story they told. It is hard to tell if he genuinely believes in them as a party and their ability to stop the war, or if he simply believes that if you shoot ten arrows, one of them is bound to hit. It is known that he hired Erowid to steal something from a dangerous estate and sent them with with no warning and a scrying spell focused on their cloak just to get a look inside the Heroymistse estate, so there is a ruthless element to him.

Prior to Meeting the Party

Over the past 25 years, Glimm has watched relations between Aphoria and Trava break down significantly. In the past 5 years, many of his agents in Trava have gone missing, some found with Drow bolts in their backs. After personally going to Cantisum, he has only more questions. His investigations into Trava's ambassador, Andrev Bilous, revealed how deep he was in the pocket of one Mogarych Zli. Asking around the Travans who worked for Andrev yielded no results, all Travans in the embassy being incredibly tightlipped in a very suspicious way. So he chose to send in an expendable, choosing a banished high elf who had run afoul of the law before. After all, no one will think to link a high elven agent to a gnomic city-state.
