Activities

Relationships
Wenefir and Pristoleph had known each other since they were boys on the impoverished streets of the fourth quarter of Innarlith. Pristoleph advanced in Innarlith society to become a very wealthy senator and Wenefir served as Pristoleph's trusted henchman.

Wenefir distrusted Marek Rymüt, a clandestine Red Wizard in Innarlith who had become an ally of Pristoleph. Wenefir saw him as being a very good ally, as Pristoleph had succeeded in gaining control of all trade in and out of the city with Marek's help, but he nevertheless saw Marek as a potential threat. Wenefir counselled Pristoleph to give his support to the church of Cyric and get their assistance rather than the help of the Red Wizards in order to carry out his ambitions to become Ransar of Innarlith. Marek didn't trust Wenefir either and lied to Wenefir about the fact that Marek had been the one who was responsible for Senator Willem Korvan's disappearance as well as Marek's turning of the young senator into an undead servant.

Phyrea, the daughter of Senator Inthelph, was secretly a thief who got work from Wenefir. Wenefir stopped giving her new assignments after she deliberately destroyed a prized egg that she stole from Ransar Osorkon rather than deliver it to him.

History
In 1326 DR Wenefir was part of a gang of boys headed by a thug named Mandalax that robbed houses. Mandalax wanted Pristoleph to join his gang, but Pristoleph refused and so the gang hunted him down. During the hunt, Wenefir betrayed Mandalax to help Pristoleph and attacked him with a knife. Wenefir castrated Mandalax as revenge for something that Wenefir had earlier suffered while doing work for Mandalax in climbing down chimneys.

In 1334 DR Wenefir was assisting Pristoleph in running a brothel at Firesteap Citadel with the prostitute Nyla.

In 1363 DR Wenefir hired the thief Phyrea to break into the Ransar's palace and steal a precious egg. Phyrea retrieved the egg, but decided to destroy it for her own amusement rather than to give it to Wenefir, who she lied to and said that she had destroyed it by accident.

In 1367 DR Wenefir performed the marriage ceremony in Cyric's name that wed Senator Willem Korvan to Phyrea.
