Deudermont

Captain Deudermont is a friend of Drizzt and the Companions of the Hall. He is the captain of the famous Sea Sprite, a large pirate-hunting vessel commissioned to him by the Lords of Waterdeep. Wulfgar was once falsely accused of assassinating the good captain, though the attempt on his life was actually conducted by Tee-a-nick-nick and Creeps Sharky, who were later executed in Luskan. Deudermont survived the attack, despite being badly poisoned and seeming on the brink of death for a few days. His trusted right hand man is the wizard Robillard, who is second in command on the Sea Sprite and a capable magic user. Deudermont is recognized as perhaps the most succussful pirate hunter of all time, not even the elves know of one better. In The Pirate King, Deudermont attempted to reform Luskan into a more proper town, one not ruled by evil. Deudermont, hailed as a hero by the general populace recieved alot of support, enough to storm the Host Tower, resulting in it's destruction. Deudermont was then promoted to position of Governor due to popular demand, however, the lack of the previous iron rule, and the shortage of food, due in no small part to intervention by the High Captains of Luskan, especially Kensidan, resulted in a rebellion. During the rebellion, Deudermont was wounded by Kensidan in his crow form, he was rescued by a former crewman, but dies shortly after of his wounds.

<!-- Captain Deudermont is a fictional human character created by R.A. Salvatore in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. Captain of the ship Sea Sprite, Deudermont is a tall refined man. By his look, you would expect to find him amongst the Lords and Ladies during his shore time, but he cares about his crew. He typically spends his time keeping an eye on them, and making sure they stayed out of trouble.

Drizzt Do'Urden and Wulfgar first met him in Waterdeep when they were trying to secure passage to Calimishan looking for Regis. Several years later, Drizzt and Catti-Brie spent many years as part of Deudermont's crew. While being escorted by Drizzt and Catti-Brie, he is attacked by a doppelganger that attempts to take his place as the captain of his ship.

Deudermont is almost unshakeably loyal to his crew, and expects that loyalty in return. When Drizzt arrives to sail with the Sea Sprite, he is initially skeptical of the drow's motives, but Drizzt quickly proved himself and found a place among the ship's complement.
