Tiago Baenre

Tiago Baenre was the grandson of Dantrag Baenre and a noble of House Baenre in Menzoberranzan. Tiago and Ravel Xorlarrin were considered the most promising of Menzoberranzan's young males.

Description
Tiago was slender and had stylish short hair. He had an unusual "whisper" of a white mustache.

Personality
Because of his position in House Baenre, Tiago was quite powerful — and he knew it. He was confidant in his position and was not averse to using his influence to casually but seriously threaten others. He also used his influence to sleep with the priestesses of House Xorlarrin, Berellip and Saribel, although as priestesses he maintained they had the right to refuse.

History
In 1463 DR, Tiago escorted Gol'fanin on the Xorlarrin expedition to Gauntlgrym. Tiago also served as the expedition's emissary to House Baenre, keeping Ravel Xorlarrin and his sisters in line and reminding them that he was reporting to Matron Mother Quenthel Baenre.

Originally, Tiago wanted to go to Gauntlgrym to obtain weapons from the legendary smith Gol'fanin in order to supplant Andzrel Baenre, the house weaponsmaster. However, once he learned that he had missed out on a chance to kill Drizzt Do'Urden, who had killed his grandfather, he was determined to atone for that mistake by killing Drizzt in order to turn himself into a legend. He began tracking Drizzt, following him to Icewind Dale, where in 1466 DR, Tiago defeated the returned demon Errtu, who himself was seeking Drizzt, on a plain outside of Bryn Shander, thus endearing himself to the city. A statue of Tiago was erected in commemoration of that event, but because of that event Drizzt was no longer welcome in that city.

Possessions
Tiago carried a sword named Vidrinath and shield named Orbbcress forged by the legendary drow smith Gol'fanin.

Tiago had a riding lizard named Byok, who was killed by Errtu.

Relationships
Tiago was Dantrag's grandson; therefore the grandson of Yvonnel Baenre and nephew of Matron Quenthel Baenre. He worked as first assistant to his cousin, weaponsmaster Andzrel Baenre.
