Withegroo Seian'Doo

Withegroo Seian'Doo is a wizard who lives in Shallows where he has his own tower. He founded, and leads the hamlet.

Appearance
Withegroo looks old and has a white beard. He has a wrinkly face, large ears and a hawk-like nose. His white hair is unkempt. He stands over 6 feet (1.83m) tall. He wears red robes with gold stars (similar to the pennant hanging from his tower) and a pointy hat.

Background
Withegroo made a name and a fortune for himself by adventuring in caves and fighting creatures. He used the money to build himself a tower, and it gradually turned into a settlement as more and more people came to live in safe proximity. In 1370 DR, during the orc and frost giant attack on Shallows, Withegroo was hit by a hurled boulder while on top of his tower, and seriously injured.

Ultimately, Withegroo falls, as witnessed by Catti-brie and Wulfgar when the orcs pressed ahead into the mostly destroyed settlement. His final act was that of a fireball, incinerating some of the orcs, this was the last spell he ever cast and the use of his powers felled him.
