Don Zaretti

Lieutenant Donyvyn 'Don' Zaretti was a Lusken officer and a formidable adversary. 
 
Not much was known of his past. When he was nineteen, he and some of his unit were rescued from the Forest of Firth by the Naysayers in 1502. Back then, he was only a low-ranking soldier. Don claimed to be from a distant and alternate future - it was unclear whether the magic of the forest messed with his perception, or there was more to it. 
He returned to Waterdeep and worked his way up the political ranks, until he became Open Lord from 1525-1532. He made a name for himself, and even managed to establish his house, Zaretti (all Lords of Waterdeep were given a heraldic crest). His reforms were militaristic but economically helped catapult Waterdeep forward. 
At some point in the late 1540s or early 1550s, he became one of the Oracles and retired from public view to help as their military consultant, leading his Twilight Rifles regiment.
After his failure to capture the Night Watch at the Betrayal at the Sandbar Sea, Adrienne Ophiuchus cut his tongue out. He served only in name as the commander of the rifles, guarding the Old Minster. In early 1561, when the Night Watch mounted their attack, they locked Don in the church crypt. The Lakayan Navy shelling of Waterdeep crumbled the church and buried him in the rubble. He was almost certainly killed.
