Darvinian DeMaggio

Darvinian DeMaggio was an elven lord and formerly the owner of Widow's Watch in Eriabourne.
== History ==
Darvinian was born in the city of Highmoon in the Grey Marches, the son of an adventurer and a guardsman. He joined a tomb raiding crew at the age of 52, quickly becoming famous for his abilities and powerful charisma. He often made snap decisions concerning which contracts to accept, sometimes surprising his companions. In the uprising by General Gormund, DeMaggio and his party confronted the general in the throne room in Coldharbour after weeks of fighting, and they put Gormund to rest. For this victory, DeMaggio was given the ever more redundant military fortress, Widow's Watch, where DeMaggio retired with his wife.
DeMaggio did not spend a lot of time in the keep, instead traveling around the world, one day disappearing entirely. His wife was left in the castle, where she was said to stand atop the highest battlements and look out over the forests and hills near Watermeet. After many years, she too disappeared; some say she returned to her homeland of Ravain, others that she threw herself from the tower in grief. Some four hundred years later, the castle became occupied by a cult of Nerull led by Rhobar the Rotting.
== In the Campaign ==
Spine was the first one to mention DeMaggio's name when the Bloodsworn met him in Widow's Watch, and he gave them a map which led them to Moradin's Anvil, a famous landmark in Dura. A ruin here contained a map which led them to an abandoned dwarven memorial tomb in the Frostbone Isles, where DeMaggio had hidden clues behind the statues of Ulm the Silent, Harashak, and Anvald Star-Cutter (ancient representatives of the original three clans; the frost dwarves, the gold dwarves, and the shield dwarves). His final revelation was that he had followed the same passage that Harashak had undertaken on the Hammerhead, a journey west across the Resting Sea to the western continent, where Harashak is said to have built something magnificent.
