Xolkin

Bandit captain and Zhentarim agent (winged-snake tattoo, small flying-snake familiar always circling him). The crew first crossed his path at Nightstone during the goblin raid, where he rode in at the head of a party of adventurers hunting Kella — a blonde Zhentarim agent believed to have fled into Nightstone or the Ardeep cave beyond. He and his crew moved into Molak's inn and held rooms upstairs while the crew was staying in the common room; the flying snake nosed the crew's window one night, which was the party's first hint of what he actually was. Later, when Corvin took Nightstone, Xolkin made no secret of his contempt for him and passed the crew a magical item as thanks after Corvin's fall — mentioning that Kella had "stolen" something from him.
