Besmer Altuth

Besmer Altuth was a criminal in Scornubel during the mid-14 century DR.

Possessions
Besmer came to possess a wand of fireballs that required no sorcerous knowledge to activate.

Besmer worked in Scornubel under Belgon Bradaskor, the Master of Shadows.

Activities
Besmer's work for Belgon often earned him a few coppers or a silver coin.

History
Besmer attempted to jump Sharantyr in late, only to find her turning the tables on him. Rather than killing him, she demanded to be taken to be seen to the Master of Shadows, Belgon Bradaskor, introducing herself as Tessaril Winter instead of as herself. Besmer tried to lead her to an alley which she refused, so instead he offered the trip through either Rat Stair or Baluth's Hole. She chose Baluth's Hole. He was released only at the last moment, right before Sharantyr was able to meet Belgon; she gave him a handful of gold pieces for his trouble, more to make sure he was treated as a traitor than out of gratitude.

Days later, Besmer stole a unique wand of fireballs that anyone could wield, firing fireballs rather at will from a merchant, slaying him in the process. The man's guards chased after Besmer for a long time; he was not caught until he attempted to use the wand against the ghost of Evaereol Rathrane, who had been attracted by the wand's power. Rather than take damage from the fireball, the phantom drank of its charges, leaving Besmer defenseless against the guards who found him shortly after.

Rumors & Legends
Sharantyr was sure he would be killed for aiding her.
