Lonk

My job? Taking care of crazies like you. Making sure you don’t go and hurt yourselves with your deviant powers. And cookies, I make cookies. -- Lonk, on his role at Spellhold.

Lonk the Sane was a Cowled Wizard of indeterminate race who served at Spellhold in 1369 DR.

Position
Lonk held the role of caretaker at the Residence for the Magically Deviant, where he was charged with tending to the inmates and keeping them docile. He did this through a combination of cajoling, baked goods of his own creation, and powerful magic should things resort to violence.

Abilities
Lonk's precise abilities are unknown, but he was a wizard sufficiently powerful that he could cast such magics as Spell Turning, Mislead, Finger of Death and Flesh to Stone.

History
In 1369 DR, Lonk was serving as a caretaker at Spellhold. For some unknown reason, he was spared when the newly arrived inmate Jon Irenicus broke out of captivity and butchered the Cowled Wizards residing at the asylum, save only for Lonk and the former director, Wanev, whom Irenicus instead drove mad and imprisoned amongst the other inmates.

Lonk continued to serve under Jon Irenicus, fearful for his life. When Gorion's Ward and their companions were imprisoned in the testing dungeon beneath Spellhold, after fighting their way back to the main floor of Spellhold, Lonk was the first individual they encountered. Lonk's fate after that encounter is a mystery; it is possible that, fearing Irenicus more than he feared the wrath of an angry Bhaalspawn and their companions, Lonk attempted to subdue the "inmate" and was slain. It is equally possible that instead he was persuaded to see reason, either by immense Charisma or else by a hefty bribe, and he instead released the other inmates of the asylum and fled as Gorion's Ward whipped the insane mages into a makeshift army against Irenicus.
