Thirdson Mutt

The third bastard son of King Valon Mutt, who after witnessing the massacre the Mutts brought to Hogstone, appeared to leave the clan out of guilt, wanting to help rebuild the town.

Characteristics
Thirdson is intelligent, charismatic and eager to help. He claims to suffer from the same guilt that the survivors of Hogstone feel, and wants to make amends.

History
Thirdson was present at the Sack of Hogstone, where he was personally responsible for locating and looting the Sekken Steiner, however when he witnessed his eldest half-brother Pyron murder King Erryk V after the King had surrendered, he fled the battle, returning shortly after the Mutt Clans had left.

For the past year Thirdson had been helping to govern Hogstone alongside Ranulph the Old and Mannaphi Al Lazphal. He was appointed City Treasurer and handled all of the financial matters with regard to the rebuilding of Hogstone.

Recent Events
Session 1

When the Adventurers arrived at Hogstone, Thirdson and Ranulph greeted them within Hogstone Keep. Thirdson explained the recent history of Hogstone to the adventurers, and about his family. He took them on a brief tour of the city and a few places where they could be of help.

Session 2

When the Adventurers returned from Pavuk, finding the body of Ranulph the old, Thirdson was nowhere to be seen. In Thirdson's room, a hasty fire had been lit, supposedly to destroy the contents of a locked cupboard. Gauner managed to open the cupboard, in which they found a space where an ornament or heavy item had previously been, a portrait of a young man who bared resemblance to Thirdson, and letters from Royston, the Captain of Thirdson's guard, implicating Thirdson in the sinking of Mannaphi's ship, and the search to find Herman on Pavuk. Royston claimed to be following up a lead in Sailor's Wyk.

Session 3

On Sailor's Wyk, Gauner was told by Brandon, the landlord of the Galleon, that Thirdson was on the island, that he had landed the previous night and stayed in his brother Landon's mansion, and that there were rumours of him being seen down by the Stranger's Rest Temple on the south side of the island.
