Laskar Nesher

Laskar Nesher was a Waterdhavian noble and an owner of an illicit logging empire circa 1377 DR. ""I know you think me a copper-coddling miser, a fool preoccupied with the flash of coins and unable to see true riches," said the man earnestly. His eyes were feverishly bright. "I often think so, myself. But the reason for it all is that I'm trying to build a dynasty for you. Yes, I am a fool. In the process of amassing a fortune, I've made you despise anything you might inherit from me.""

- Laskar Nesher

Description
Laskar was fat and he wore his brown waistcoat tight, making him look like a bratwurst sausage. The ill-fitting outfits left his jowls red from chafing.

Personality
Laskar was shifty, opportunistic, and mistrustful. He would try and sneak a hidden dagger in when no weapons and magic were allowed.

Possessions
The nobleman built his sizable illicit logging empire over his lifetime, creating a name for himself and building a dynasty for his son, while trying to inspire rebellious Noph to take over the business.

Relationships
Laskar Neshar was not married and preferred the company of slender female consorts half his age. The latest one was Stelar.

His son Kastonoph "Noph" Nesher felt dismissive and annoyed at his father for spending all of his time and attention on earning a fortune and building a dynasty for his heir. When Noph discovered his father was attempting to blackmail Eidola, Noph's annoyance grew into disgust with his father.

History
In 1377 DR, on Eleint 17 and 18, Laskar Nesher, his young consort Stelar, and his son Noph were in attendance for the wedding ceremony between the Open Lord of Waterdeep Piergeiron the Paladinson and Eidola of Neverwinter. Soon after arriving at the wedding, Noph gained Khelben Arunsun's favor by giving up his father's hidden dagger.

At the event, Lord Nesher wanted to attempt a negotiation with the [elf]] nobles of the High Forest over logging rights for his business empire. The second reason for the businessman's presence at the wedding was to blackmail Eidola of Neverwinter over her mysterious past.
