History[]
Nain was an ex-member of the Company of Crazed Venturers and in their service had died many times, each time being resurrected again. Notably, he fought Iyachtu Xvim, son of the deity Bane. He became friends with Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun and Durnan, and Malchor Harpell was his colleague.[2] He maintained a strong friendship with Sharest Tanthalar after they met at one of Mirt's parties.[4]
After retiring from the company, he used the wealth he had accumulated to construct Naingate, a tower in the Sea Ward, where he resided.[3] He joined up with Shalara Malarkkin to form the Company of Staff and Steel, which lasted for about two years, but later split up.[2]
As of 1368 DR, Nain was a trader and diplomat, advising the Lords of Waterdeep on various issues.[2]
In the Year of Lightning Storms, 1374 DR, he was among the many powerful mages Arunsun brought together to cleanse part of the High Moor and restore Faer'tel'miir, a lost city of Miyeritar.[5]
