Deekin Scalesinger

Deekin Scalesinger is a kobold scribe and bard who, among other things, wrote the tale of the exploits of an adventurer in the Anauroch desert. He later settled in Neverwinter, selling items he had acquired on his many journeys.

Deekin is completely obsessed with the main character. Deekin refers to himself in third person. He is always writing a book and will even ask some of the henchmen, "Deekin pencil you in as sidekick maybe? Or how about Deekin's devoted fan?"

He is afraid of dragons because, although he is part dragon, his last "boss," Tymofarrar, was a white dragon. Despite his fear, however, he deeply respects the player and is very loyal to him or her. He is the only henchman who, at the closing battle of Hordes of the Underdark, can be convinced to resist Mephistopheles's attempts to sway him without the use of either a Persuade check or his True Name.

Deekin is first met in the Neverwinter Nights expansion Shadows of Undrentide, where he has run away from his master Tymofarrar. He agrees to give the player the Tower Statue if they will talk to Tymofarrar and negotiate his release. He becomes a henchman in the Interlude, and follows the player character until the end of the game. In Hordes of the Underdark, Deekin can become a henchmen again, and is the only henchman available in all three chapters of the game. During the course of the player's adventures, Deekin can become a Red Dragon Disciple, or remain a bard. Deekin is considered to be one of the best henchmen in Hordes of the Underdark for his ability to invoke bardic spells and inflict damage if he continues the Red Dragon Disciple class. In Neverwinter Nights 2, Deekin appears as a merchant in Neverwinter.
