Jack the Gnome

Jack the Gnome was a moderately powerful spell caster that appears in the Novel The Orc King.

History
Little information is known about Jack except that he lived in the Underdark for centuries and was at one time a student of illithids and demons in his search for greater magical knowledge. The illithids in particular taught him to escape the bounds of the corporeal and of the mortal. Apparently, Jack was highly skilled at shape changing. He often took the form a winged snake to carry on his mischief and manipulations of the shamans of the Half-Orc, Half-Ogre tribe - Clan Karuck who resided beneath the Spine of the World in the Upper reaches of the Underdark.

Jack the Gnome is slain by Drizzt Do'Urden.
