Summary
Nook likes to present himself as an academic, but he forged his career as a spy. As a young rat, he was exceptionally crafty, and adept at surviving sans slave, skills that served him well in his role as a foreign infiltrator. His missions ranged from benign cultural fact finding (well as benign as probing the minds of unwilling townsfolk can be) to kidnapping and assasination. He resigned from field ops only after a near drowning. The ship he was stowing away on sunk on a reef, and though he was able to weasel and luck his way to survival, it strongly awakened the instinctual Rat fear of drowning in him. To this day he has a fear of bodies of water larger than a wading pool.
Equipment
- Personal Anti-Grav - Round antigrav generators mounted to his hips, stomach and back allow Nook to float about freely. Not very quick, gets unstable in a light wind, but makes it easier to get up on the counter.
- Warding Pendant - Small jewel hung from his neck, protects against harmful magics. For scale.. let's say it subtracts 1 from your magical firepower for spells you try to cast on him.
- Anti-Grav Buggy - The thing that got him to the summit. Robust horse and carraige style construction, dual lift generators and thrust generators, blazing top speed of 40mph. Not reccommended for use during storms.
