Nezznar

Nezznar, also known as the "Black Spider", was a drow who was in search of the Forge of Spells in Wave Echo Cave.

The drow promised a share to Iarno Albrek in exchange for his loyalty and aid. Nezznar was the true leader of the Redbrands, controlling them (as well as the Cragmaw tribe of goblins and bugbears) in the hopes of finding Wave Echo Cave and unlocking its secrets (while also keeping it a secret for himself). Nezznar had many spies reaching all the way to Neverwinter.
