History
He was once a fellow adventurer of Edgin Darvis, Holga Kilgor, and Simon. They worked together to steal riches and on the way they battled gnoll raiders and fey witches and more. In one notable heist, they infiltrated the estate of the wealthy and eccentric Torlinn Shrake during a party with intent to rob the place. They were also caught in a town threatened by the Bandit King on one Feast of the Moon.

Forge worked with Edgin, Holga, Simon, and Sofina to steal a powerful magical horn from Korinn's Keep, but Sofina took it for herself and betrayed them.

However, while Edgin and Holga were incarcerated in Revel's End, Forge stole the loot from their heist and somehow used it to become Lord of Neverwinter. In this role, serving his own interests and not those of Neverwinter, he cut the city's traditional alliances and painted the wood elves of Neverwinter Wood as enemies and dispatched loggers who cut ever deeper into the woods.

He later worked with Sofina.

Forge revived the Highsun Games at the newly built Neverwinter Arena and hosted the event, even raising a balloon over the arena with his face on it.

Description
As Lord of Neverwinter, he would wear a white shirt, a tan vest, and a turquoise neckerchief, under a gold-brocaded coat, with an ornate belt and rings and gold amulet with an emerald gem.
