Jack the Gnome

Jack the Gnome was a moderately powerful spell caster that appears in the Novel The Orc King.

History
Little information is known about Jack except that he lived in the Underdark for centuries and was at one time a student of illithids and demons in his search for greater magical knowledge. The illithids in particular taught him to escape the bounds of the corporeal and of the mortal. Apparently, Jack was highly skilled at shape changing. He often took the form a winged snake to carry on his mischief and manipulations of the shamans of the Half-Orc, Half-Ogre tribe - Clan Karuck who resided beneath the Spine of the World in the Upper reaches of the Underdark.

Jack felt he was a great rival of Lady Alustriel's due to some un-detailed slight he apparently made against her about 100 years ago.

Jack the Gnome was slain by Drizzt Do'Urden.

Magic Items

 * Silk Wizard Robe - this magical robe cannot be soiled or dirtied in any way. It was taken from Jack's corpse by Drizzt as loot and given to Catti-brie.
