Jezz the Lame

Jezz the Lame was one of the leaders of the Vhaeraun-worshipping House Jaelre, commanding the drow of his house who warred with the elves of Myth Drannor.

Description
Jezz had smooth, black skin and pale white hair. He was slightly shorter and slimmer than a human. He wore supple black leather armor and carried an exotic-looking kukri. He also wore a green asp around his arm. His right leg was lame and held in a leather and iron brace/harness, which he limped around in, giving him the nickname "Jezz the Lame."

Personality
Given his charisma and the respect his followers give him, if House Jaelre gained a foothold in Cormanthor, Jezz was to be presented as a speaker to the outside world. He was involved in dealing with the tenuous alliance with the Clan Auzkovyn as well.

History
Years ago, Jezz was a scout for his tribe as they wandered the Underdark after leaving their home city of Menzoberranzan. His leg was badly wounded during a fight with an umber hulk in which a cavern ceiling collapsed on him. His companions thought him dead but he managed to drag himself back to their camp a tenday later. One of the clerics was able to set his leg but the old wound still pains him from time to time and he must wear a special brace and shoe that allows him to walk more easily.

In 1372 DR, Jezz assisted a group of Menzoberranyr drow led by Quenthel Baenre in retrieving the Geildirion of Cimbar book of lore from a beholder's lair in Myth Drannor.

In 1374 DR, Jezz was sent as an emissary from the Masked Brigades to the Zhentarim who occupy Shadowdale at the time of the Cormanthor War. He remained in the Twisted Tower of Ashaba, hoping to learn more about House Jaelre's current allies.
