Montaron

Montaron was a halfling member of the Zhentarim who was sent with Xzar to the Sword Coast during the iron crisis in 1368 DR.

History
Montaron and Xzar saved Abdel Adrian from a horde of gibberlings and accompanied him as he traveled to the Friendly Arms Inn and later to the mines of Nashkel. Montaron also helped Adrian out at the inn by planting the purses he had stolen on a man whom Adrian had just killed, thus freeing him from some of the blame for what "would have been murder otherwise". Montaron and Xzar were also secretly working for Sarevok, who later slaughtered them.

Montaron and Xzar were encountered by Gorion's Ward on the road near the place where Gorion was killed. He was a member of the Zhentarim dispatched along with Xzar to find out who was to blame for the iron crisis, since their organization actually had nothing to do with it in spite of rumors to the contrary. He hated working with Xzar and generally seemed to think that the best thing that could be done with everyone besides himself would be to kill them, something which he openly enjoyed. He and his counterpart would get along particularly badly with the two Harpers Khalid and Jaheira, with whom they could eventually come to blows.

In 1369 DR, Montaron had been captured by the local Harpers in Athkatla, Amn whilst spying on them. In truth, he had been killed, but Gorion's Ward might be fooled to believe he had been transformed into a bird. When this bird was brought to Xzar, who had given the quest to find Montaron in the first place, it would be revealed to be a Harper who killed Xzar on the spot.
