Carrague Ambassador Carrague was the honorary building inspector in Ravens Bluff for decades . He had been in the city for so long that no one remembered that his appointment was supposed to be honorary . Appearance . Ambassador Carrague was a bent and stooped old man of 54kg ( 120lbs ) with long white hair and beard . He always wore a red robe with gold trim and leaned on his staff whenever standing . He was sometimes seen in the company of King , a well - known city dog with remarkable intelligence . Personality . Carrague was a pleasant fellow , slow to anger , wanting peace and quiet . However he would not tolerate builders who used inferior materials or sloppy methods of construction and he had an abiding grudge against the Builder ' s Guild . Unfortunately he grew senile and had trouble focusing on nearby events . In conversation he tended to ramble and become unintelligible at times . He could be oblivious to panic and chaos swirling around him which made the people of Ravens Bluff believe his calm was due to high self - confidence . Indeed , even his confusing pronouncements were taken as pearls of wisdom from an inscrutable oracle . Because his mind wandered , Carrague could not focus long enough to memorize his higher level spells , but people respected him as a powerful wizard . He took his position very seriously and often visited building sites or planning meetings . His primary goal was greater safety for workers and occupants . As of 1356 DR , he rarely finished what he started . Background . Carrague finished his apprenticeship with a powerful mage when he was around twenty four years old and set out on his own . After a short time of wandering he met a dazzlingly beautiful elf who called herself Whisper and they formed an adventuring company . Their first campaign turned out to be the most dangerous : of the original twelve members that went up against an old temple dedicated to evil , only Carrague and Whisper survived . Turning rumors of the battle to their advantage , the Hellraisers ( a name that Carrague never really liked ) became a name feared and respected , new members were recruited , and the company stayed together for almost twenty years . When a number of Hellraiser members retired to enjoy the spoils of their adventures , Whisper and Carrague bought a ship and set sail , eventually landing in Ravens Bluff . Whisper took on the name of Raven TenTolliver and eventually became head of the Builder ' s Guild . Carrague rented a comfortable house and settled down to research mysteries he never had time to explore before . After many years , Carrague gained a reputation for wisdom and the Lord Mayor at that time asked him to act as an ambassador to negotiate for assistance in defeating a demonic cult that had risen near Ravens Bluff . Carrague was successful in this mission and thereafter became known as " The Ambassador " . Eventually Carrague decided to build a wizard ' s tower for himself and this brought him into conflict with the Builder ' s Guild and his former comrade , Raven . He refused to employ guild supervisors because he felt his masonry and carpentry skills made him qualified for the task . Raven would not allow any exception to the rules and Carrague vowed never to mortar a single brick as long as the guild ' s rules were in effect . When it was clear that they were at an impasse , Carrague pointedly built a comfortable underground dwelling instead . Ambassador Carrague was given the position of honorary building inspector by some friends on the city council to show their support for his anti - guild position . It was largely a symbolic gesture but Carrague takes it very seriously . He and Raven are still civil to each other and he occasionally dines at Raven ' s Inn , but he still refuses to call her by any name other than Whisper .
