### First Appearance

Kingmaker Episode 14: Quests & Quicklings

*"Everyone knows MY name! From here to the First World and back!"*

*-Rigg, to a group of people who had never heard of him.*

Rigg Gargadilly is a capricious quickling with astounding speed and ego. A self-proclaimed famous adventurer from the First World, his incompetence slowly but surely becomes more and more apparent the longer you spend talking to him... and he talks a lot.

## Appearance

Rigg is a quickling, a fey creature with the supernatural gift of speed. He is short, approximately 3 feet tall, with green skin and dark green hair. For the most part, he resembles a very short elf, with long, pointed ears, almond-shaped eyes with nothing but dark scleras and a cocksure grin, but he also has slug-like antennae and two-pronged feet. He often dresses dashingly, with brown leather coats and cravats being his signature look.

## Personality

Rigg's most prominent character trait is his ego. Certain that he is a legendary adventurer, he often brags loudly and obnoxiously that people everywhere recognize him, even when that isn't the case. He also has a tendency to massively overestimate his abilities, which can land him in serious trouble if he isn't careful, which he rarely is. Rigg also enjoys gossiping and spreading rumors; combined with his incredible speed, this means he is often the source of gossip and news to many people around St. Gilmorg and beyond.

## Abilities

As a Quickling, Rigg has many supernatural abilities inherent to his physiology. Most notably, Rigg has the power of speed, allowing him to move four times as fast as the average human. When he isn't moving, Rigg can turn invisible, fading from view. His rogue training has given him some martial prowess too, allowing him to sneak attack the slow, lumbering humans who try to stop him. Conversely, Rigg is heavily allergic to Slowing effects; when targeted by a Slow spell, Rigg turns blue, weepy and sickly, unable to do much more than moan and sob over his misfortune.

## History

Little is known about Rigg's past; his first sighting was in the Forgotten Keep, where he served as a guardian to the Dancing Lady, a Baobhan Sith using the name and reputation of The Green Lady to gather allies and servants. It is unknown how long Rigg was an ally to the Dancing Lady, but he proudly bragged that he had helped lure numerous travelers into her clutches over the years. When the Kingmakers entered the Keep in 4711 AR, he took them on- only to realize he was outmatched, and fled.

Rigg fled to the east of the Stolen Lands, discovering a band of Spriggans known as the Culchek Spriggans. He took on their leader, Agai, in combat, and when he won, he declared the Culchek Spriggans his gang, though he secretly thought of them as family. When the group discovered that Varnhold was empty in late 4712 AR, Rigg jumped at the idea of setting up his own nation to rival Kilcela; one he dubbed Gargaville. When the Kingmakers arrived, he attempted to fight them, only to be quickly incapacitated by a Slow spell from Kaska Tanavin. When the Kingmakers offered to spare him, and he accepted, the Culchek Spriggans immediately turned on him. Alden Felstad informed Rigg after the fight that he was under arrest, and that he would be put in prison when they returned to Kilcela. Rigg spent the majority of the rest of their exploration of Varnhold and its hinterlands tied to Hengroenn's back, including during their visit to the Nomen Centaurs and during the Soul Eater attack. When the Kingmakers entered the Valley of the Dead, Rigg was left with Pucky, who was told not to untie him. Pucky immediately untied him, and the two became very close, prompting Rigg to seek a redemption arc. When the Kingmakers returned, he very proudly told them of his intentions; only for them to tie him up again and bring him back to prison.

Rigg spent the next year in prison, sharing a cell with Grigori. In 4714, when the Cult of Gyronna burned the prison down and assassinated his cellmate, Rigg fled, unsure of where to go; he sought out Alden's home, where he met Brie Felstad. Brie was moved by Rigg's plight, and agreed to keep him in hiding. Rigg's evident disappearance brought a lot of distress to the Kingmakers, specifically Alden, who went so far as to put up missing person posters around St. Gilmorg. Eventually, Alden discovered that Brie was harboring Rigg when he saw her with a pram. Rigg was not thrown back into jail, since his prison sentence was about to expire anyway, and the jail had yet to be rebuilt. Rigg found permanent residence in the Felstad home, and quickly found a niche in St. Gilmorg as a gossip, able to easily spread rumors and gossip around the city. He had a field day with the Rainwater Razor killings, often knowing about cases before the Kingmaker themselves did.

In 4715 AR, when offered the chance to go to the Rushlight Festival, Rigg flatly turned down the invitation, stating he was happy where he was. However, when Kilcela was attacked by the Clockwork Regiment, it was Rigg who ran the entire 156 mile difference in a 5 hour, nonstop sprint to get to Festival Grounds, arriving just in time to warn the Kingmakers before they were attacked by Pitax's Clockwork Wardens. He managed to escape, and returned to Kilcela soon after. During the Season of Bloom, he helped Alden and Brie stop their home from burning down after the Nightmare Rook's Living Nightmare effect.

## Relationships

### The Dancing Lady

Rigg Gargadilly served the Dancing Lady for some time, though it's evident that he did not know her very well. The entire time he was under her employ, he genuinely thought her to be The Green Lady- but even then, he didn't know much about her either. He had no qualms leaving her to die when he realized his own life was on the line.

### Alden Felstad

Alden Felstad was the nicest of all the Kingmakers to Rigg, believing him to be at least somewhat entertaining. He tried to talk Rigg into a peaceful resolution when they first encountered one another, and later was happy to offer redemption to the Quickling... once he'd done his time in jail. He visited Rigg quite often in jail, and when Rigg vanished, he was very worried for the Quickling's safety. Rigg now lives in Alden's home, helping do menial chores around the house.

### Kaska Tanavin

Kaska was infuriated by Rigg's bravado, doubly so by his cowardice. When Rigg ran away the first time, he snatched a potion from her hand before running, giving her a longstanding grudge. It was Kaska who supplied the majority of the Slow spells needed to keep Rigg docile during their exploration of Varnhold, and she took a lot of pleasure in keeping him subdued. In later years, however, her attitude towards him softened, now simply finding him mildly annoying instead of enough to validate tormenting him.

### Culchek Spriggans

Despite Rigg's decisive victory over the former leader of the Culchek Spriggans, they never quite accepted him as a valid leader, following his commands only out of fear rather than actual respect. The first chance that they had to revolt, they did so. Rigg, conversely, had viewed them as a family who would care for him, so their betrayal hurt him deeply, opening up some loneliness issues he had not previously been aware of.

### Brie Felstad

Brie Felstad is potentially the kindest person to Rigg in the campaign. She was willing to bend the law to keep him safe, even as a near stranger, agreeing not to tell his whereabouts to her own son. She's shown to treat him somewhere between a pet cat and a house-elf, having effectively domesticated Rigg and stopped him from his more malicious ways with relative ease. Rigg, meanwhile, has nothing for respect for Brie, treating her like the mother he never had, much to Alden's chagrin.
