Methil El-Viddenvelp

El-Viddenvelp (also known as Methil) was an Illithid and serving the Matron Baenre.

History
He was the advisor of the old Matron Baenre concerning matters beyond Menzoberranzans borders and even on matters within the city itself. His metals prowess has proven more than helpful to the old Baenre in her dealings with other Matron Mothers, particularly in the meetings of the ruling council. There was a secretly created chamber beside the council cave, so that El-Viddenvelp could be out of sight, but not out of mind. It is not clear why an illithid dealed with the house. Perheaps it is due to the fact that his illithid community was located only a few weeks march to the west of the drow city. Mind flayers normally do not fear the drow, but they do respect them, especially since there were 20.000 of them living in Menzoberranzan whereas El-Viddenvelps community numbers a scant one or two hundred. He was more likely a kind of double-agent but the Matron Baenre has nothing personal against such a business, as long as she benefited from the relationship. She also needed the illithid to understand the mysterious powers of House Oblodra.
