Georges

Georges, often referred to by the initials GMG, was the Guild Master of the Shadow Thieves during their return to Waterdeep, operating out of a hideout within Undermountain in the mid–14 century DR.

Personality
Georges was known to be extremely strict, cruel, and paranoid. He encouraged torture to get the information he wanted, denying the release of death to his prisoners for as long as possible. He preferred promotion by way of murdering the opponent within the guild. And Georges was a devout follower of Mask.

Georges had one very notable quirk. He doused himself in strong-smelling perfumes often preferred by the females of Waterdeep, and that smell often lingered in the Guild Master's wake for long periods of time.

Relationships
Georges had multiple apprentices that he trusted to run the daily activities of the guild. One of the most trusted ones was halfling Braakus Sinjen. Many of the Shadow Thieves down the chain of command plotted and schemed against their Guild Master, notably, Hines and Xabash were plotting a coup, taking to hard Georges' promotion by murder dogma.

History
Sometime in the mid–14 century DR, past the events of the Time of Troubles, the Shadow Thieves reestablished their presence in Waterdeep via a hidden stronghold somewhere in the upper levels of Undermountain. Under the leadership of the Guild Master Georges, the thieves started expanding and recruiting. The thieves' guild presence in the City of Splendors was guided by their desire to avenge the Lords of Waterdeep expulsion of the guild in the past. The Shadow Thieves allied with the drow forces of the High Priestess of Lolth Azurna, collecting the invaluable data on the City Watch's patrols, bases, activities, and the city's high ranking officials. During that time, the Shadow Thieves of Undermountain were allied with the kobolds of "king" Grotchek's tribe who watched over the entrance to the mega-dungeon., and warred with the tribe of goblins that regularly raided the thieves' stronghold.

Eventually, the kobold activities attracted the attention of the Lords of Waterdeep and led to the discovery of the Shadow Thieves' return. Khelben Arunsun tasked a lone adventurer he came to trust to descent to Undermountain and search for the holy symbol of Mask that indicated the entrance to the stronghold. Eventually, the adventurer managed to infiltrate the organization, eliminating most of the Shadow Thieves and killing Georges. The death of the Guild Master revealed the guild's mission of collecting information on Waterdeep's defenses. The revelation troubled the Blackstaff but offered no clues on to who or what was plotting against the beloved city.
