Dreppin

Dreppin is a male monkActor 22, AR2600.are who can be found looking after his cow, Nessa, near the Priests' Quarters in Candlekeep during the Prologue. When you first speak to him, he tells you where to find Phlydia's lost book, whether or not you have already picked up the quest Phlydia's Book by speaking to her. 
He has a quest of his own, which he will not tell you about until you speak to him a second time. The lesson here, if there be one, is that persistence sometimes pays off. 
His "plans for you" never amount to anything more than having you find medicine for his ailing cow. The lesson here, if there be one, is never trust an NPC.
During Chapter Six, he'll still be found near the Priests' Quarters and he'll engage Gorion's Ward in some brief small talk. If you choose the right dialogue line, he will provide some limited information about some recent visitors to the keep. He'll be found one more time on the second level of the Candlekeep Catacombs, although this time he's really a doppelganger in disguise. After a brief dialogue, the doppelganger will transform and attack

"<Gorion's Ward>! I didn't think you were ever coming back! What's it like out there?"
:1- It's pretty scary, Dreppin. There's more to that iron crisis than the bandits everyone always talks about.
::"Yeah? Like what?"
:::1a- I found a bunch of kobolds tainting the ore at the Nashkel mines with an acid of some sort. That's just the tip of the iceberg, too. It's going on all over the place.
::::"Let me guess, they want to form an independent kobold city-state too, right? Why don't you just fess up and admit that you've spent the past while as a baker's apprentice or whatever and stop trying to pull my leg?"
:::1b- There's a merchants' league called the Iron Throne at the bottom of all of it. They're in it for the money but there's something more, too. I just have to find out what it all is.
::::"Iron Throne? A couple of them came here the other day and headed into the central keep. I wouldn't have remembered it but one of them looked at me as he walked by and it just sent shivers up and down my spine. They should still be around but, if I were you, I'd stay as far away from them as possible."
:2- It's a lot of fun. I'm not going to be here for long. You should come with me when I go.
::"Like you'd ever need a stable hand. Me and Nessa are staying right here, thank you very much."
:3- It's big. I don't know how else to put it. I lived my entire life within these walls and in the past while I've seen fifty times as much as these walls could ever hold. It's weird, though: all that space and barely a book in it. I never realized how special Candlekeep really is.
::"Yeah, people come from all over to see the books here. All sorts of folks, too: bards, nobles, priests, mages. Volo's even been here and Elminster, too, remember. A couple of just plain old merchants even wandered in the other day. Said they were with the Iron Throne and were here to do some business. They're still around, last I heard."
