Ardreth Ulnshoor

Ardreth Ulnshoor was the shopkeep of Uncrimmon's Trophies & Sundries in Mosstone in the 14 century DR.

Description
Ulnshoor was thought to be a creepy inexpressive man by many residents of Mosstone.

Personality
Ardreth was mainly interested in his trade and used his magic amulet to read minds, deterring thieves and scammers. However, he also enjoyed little probing of all of his clients as he liked knowing people he dealt with.

Abilities
Ardreth Ulnshoor possessed all abilities of doppelgangers, and he liked to take on the shape of an illithid to terrify would-be thieves.

Possessions
Ardreth possessed the ability to read minds, something that spread all sorts of rumors about him throughout the town of Mosstone. In reality, the ability came from his medallion of ESP, the enchanted item he used to detect and track thieves and scammers. He was also armed with blowdarts, dipped in sleeping poison.

History
It was unknown when or how Ardreth Ulnshoorr came to work for Uncrimmon, the mysterious beholder owner of Uncrimmon's Trophies & Sundries. However, one thing was clear, as per Volothamp Geddarm's research, Ardreth feared his many-eyed employer.

At some point, rumors of Ardreth Ulnshoor being an illithid attracted the attention of local Harpers. The investigation revealed that the shopkeep was, in fact, a doppelganger who was seen shapeshifting into a mind flayer when dealing with thieves. As Ardreth was not doing anything evil, the Harpers left him alone but placed an enchantment on his ESP medallion that allowed them to listen in when the doppelganger was using the item.

Rumors & Legends
Many Mosstonians believed Ardreth Ulnshoor to be a disguised mind flayer who, on occasion, let the ruse go, exposing his aberrant nature when dealing with thieving customers.
