Uncle (wizard)

Uncle was what some called a particular reclusive wizard who owned a keep in the Kryptgarden Forest on the Sword Coast North. After his death, he left his keep to a relative who was either his niece or nephew.
==Personality==
The wizard known as Uncle was a recluse who did not maintain contact with people outside his keep, even family. Nevertheless, he was kind enough to treat his servants well, and made a point of celebrating their birthdays each year with parties. He was also conscious about security, as he filled his moat with invisible spears and had a secret escape route out of his keep.
==Possessions==
The wizard's most significant possession was Uncle's Keep, a modestly sized but well-decorated building in the southern end of the Kryptgarden Forest. In his keep, he kept a number of guards and servants. He also had a stable full of livestock, which included a pony.
He owned a magical mirror that could cause someone to be enthralled by their own reflection. He owned many other magic items, including enchanted weapons.
==Activities==
Before his death, the wizard lived a somewhat solitary life in his keep although he made regular visits to Red Larch.
==Relationships==
The wizard had few relatives. He was married to a woman from Red Larch, and had a friend who was a wandering druid.
He occasionally thought about his distant niece or nephew, to whom he was considered 'long-lost,' and who inherited his estate after his death.
His keep made him a target of the Lostafinga tribe of hobgoblins.
==History==
About five years before his death, the wizard saved the life of a lord of Waterdeep, who repaid him by granting him a tract of land in the south end of the Kryptgarden Forest, as well as a keep there and money.
Some time after, the wizard became married to a woman from Red Larch. His wife and their unborn child both died during childbirth.
Two years after the death of his wife, the wizard's keep was raided by a patrol of the Lostafinga tribe of hobgoblins. They killed his hirelings, and the wizard as well. As he bled out from a fatal arrow wound, his last act was to write a will in ink and his own blood, leaving the keep to a particular niece or nephew of his.
