Gandrel

Gandrel was a Gur monster hunter from a tribe that traveled along the Sword Coast and Western Heartlands during the late 15 century DR.

"I wish I had half the power settled folk think my people possess. Alas, I am a simple wanderer. A simple wanderer and monster hunter."

History
As a child, Gandrel once witnessed a vampire spawn during a public burning. This sight of a creature of the night being consumed by flames and then swelling up, bursting like a leech and splattering Gandrel's shoes with gore and vicar. This encounter left the youth emotionally scarred.

In the, Gandrel was trying to track down and apprehend the vampire spawn Astarion, and return with him to his tribe waiting in Baldur's Gate. To glean information about how to better track down his quarry, Gandrel made a visit to Auntie Ethel's Riverside Teahouse in the Sunlit Wetlands.
