The luxurious mansion was the residence of the acknowledged leader of the Heralds , the High Herald known as Unicorn .

Below the main house were vaults containing treasure , weaponry , and armor , relics of historic battles , as well as banners and other important representations of heraldry from all over Faerûn . Activities . Because the High Herald Unicorn lived here , there were many meetings and comings and goings of Harpers and other Heralds doing the business of enforcing the Law of Arms and gathering information .

Hoot : Hoot was a legless beggar that normally hanged out in the harbor district or near the city gate , telling stories for coins . His nickname came from the strange noise he made spasmodically while he told his stories . This form allowed Chaney to investigate smuggling and piracy cases . Slither : This form was a human with slightly reptilian features , very mysterious and a bit creepy . Slither was an information broker and deal - maker with the reputation ( enhanced and promoted by Howard ' s other agents ) of being able to supply almost anything for the right price . This persona was mainly used to set up a group or an individual for a sting operation , catching them red - handed . Howard used his influence and resources to make sure Slither had the goods so the mark would not suspect a con . Personality . Chaney was happy to be able to do what doppelgangers did best and get paid for it . His job was also relatively safe because his actions were sanctioned by the city government ( although only Howard Holiday and the Lord Mayor Charles O ' Kane knew Chaney ' s true nature ) . The law prohibited monsters inside the city limits and Chaney feared that a paladin or some other lawful idiot would discover him so he folloeds orders and did not have any other ambitions .
