## Description

Staniwick ‘Stan’ Felmeter is a fair skinned Gnome standing at 3’5, which is an average height for a Gnome, although that puts him shorter than any of his regular associates who are at least Dwarf-sized or taller. He sports well trimmed icy blue hair that matches the chin puff that serves as his goatee. Although he is 54 years of age, in Human terms, he would be viewed as that middle-of-the road age that broke out of the youthful twenties and into the early thirties. He is considered a new adult. His figure ranges from average to slender, with little definition to his body. He was never corpulent, but he would never compete in the Gnomish bracket of the Drogbar Lifting Challenge. He has a pair of eyes with purple irises and thin green lines suggesting the presence of fel energy within his body.

Staniwick prides himself on his sharp wit and superior fashion sense. He viewed himself as a real ‘*Mister Blackwell'*, a name belonging to one of Azerototh’s few male high fashion critics. Although he owned a set of robes as befitting his occult station, Staniwick preferred vests, breeches, ties, cufflinks over the occult robes or grim visage that was expected of a Gnome who had fel in his eyes.

## Family

Staniwick’s mother is *Elspetha ‘Elspeth’ Felmeter* and is the youngest daughter of *Ezma Felmeter* and *Ferdinand Manylocks*. Elseptha, along with her mother and sister, *Georgina Felmeter* formed the Warlock coven known as the *Felmeter Witches*, which the elder Felmeter had hoped would produce a line of powerful female Warlocks to influence and one day control the Warlock community within Ironforge. Unfortunately, those dreams were immediately dashed for Ezma when her daughter, Georgina, had yet to produce a child despite several scandals, and Ezma’s youngest, Elspetha, produced a single heir from her relationship with another Warlock, *Increase Banewatch*. That being Staniwick. A male. Although he was immediately a disappointment in her eyes by breaking the expected line of succession for the coven, Elspetha was resolved to take on Staniwick as her apprentice.

After his training, having taken up a similar knack for afflictions and invocations like his mother, Staniwick married his only recognized wife by the Court of Ironforge: *Nexie Netherspark*. The two would be married for several tumultuous years where they would go from passionate lovers, to professional rivals, to attempting to curse the other party dead, to lovers again, and then to economic warfare as Nexie attempted to break Staniwick’s bank account during the divorce. Despite what they have gone through, Staniwick and Nexie continue to meet together as lovers on several separate occasions, often using assumed names at various inns in Stormwind and Ironforge.

## Associates

Outside of Family, Staniwick has several associates that he shares a fair degree of affection for.

Persefani Stargazer-DeSirrus - Staniwick’s boss, formerly of Sacred Fire and now Blackwater Company. The two were fast friends and companions after Persefani *Sefi* DeSirrus recruited Staniwick to stop a mutant Dreadlord in his attempts at manipulating Dalaran portal crystals as part of a larger scheme to bring forces of the Legion to Azeroth early. After the Order of Sacred Fire broke apart, Staniwick and Persefani remained in touch, and it was she who contacted Staniwick about joining a reorganized *Privateer* group, the Blackwater Company. Staniwick’s loyalty, even over his wife, has never been so solid as it is with Persefani.

Gaffaden Truespark - Formerly Gaffaden *Ragespark* before he got married to Walda Truespark, Gaffaden is a Gnomish Bounty Hunter from Booty Bay who has arrested Staniwick Felmeter once or twice for tax evasion from the Ironforge authorities and one DUI involving a magic carpet and a potato monger’s cart in the Ironforge Commons. Staniwick was privately opposed to Gaffadan joining the Blackwater Company due to bad history with the other Gnome. The two generally avoid each other.

Rolfir Deepstone - Staniwick’s associate from the Dark Iron Clan. Rolfir Deepstone is a Dark Iron Pyromancer and a former Ambassador to Alterac before going into the private sector as a scribe, researcher and spellcaster. The two have a professional relationship, although Staniwick is well aware that he is disliked by Rolfir’s beloved wife, Matilde Blackforge.

Leonard ‘Leo’ Morehouse - Staniwick’s housekeeper, valet, and friend. Leonard is a Bronzebeard Dwarf and former clerk with the Bank of Ironforge before Staniwick recruited him to take care of the *Orange House*, located in Ironforge’s Commons Section. Leo often serves as Staniwick’s sounding boards for his various schemes and fashion ideas. His interest in photography has been put into use as Staniwick also uses Leo to photograph his models.
