Mirt

Mirt "The Moneylender" is a fat, wheezing old rogue, and retired adventurer. He made his fortune as an adventurer in Undermountain after a colorful career as a mercenary general. During this time Mirt, then known as Mirt the Merciless or the Old Wolf made many enemies all over the Sword Coast, but also a few friends, notably Durnan a fellow adventurer and Undermountain explorer.

Outwardly Mirt appears to be a loud, tipsy braggart, but only a foreigner to Waterdeep would underestimate his agility and cunning. These qualities have made him far richer in late in life, as an investor and business man, than his years as an adventurer ever did, despite his being one of the few adventurers to emerge alive with wealth from Undermountain.

Mirt is a Harper as well as a Masked Lord of Waterdeep and has a heart of gold, despite the relative frequency with which he enters unruly tavern brawls. Many of the commoners suspect Mirt to be a Masked Lord, and Mirt has on more than one occasion engaged in secretly spreading rumors stating that he is not.

He is one of the few trusted friends of Evermeet, and has a portal that can give him access to the Elven island when he so wishes.

His wife, Asper, is an informal member of the Gray Hands.
