Iwan
Charming enough to be trusted, hungry enough to be dangerous.
Everyone likes Iwan; nobody can say quite why. The charming schmuck-turned-sorcerer is handsome and easy to talk to, with eyes that stay calm even when the conversation is not — and a settled belief that the world owes him more than it has given.
His instinct is to get what he thinks the world owes him. Treat him as slow-burn trouble: personable enough to get close, resentful enough to become dangerous.
Moves
- Be charming in a way that leaves a faint unease behind
- Have already cultivated relationships the PCs did not know about
- Escalate from wildcard to genuine problem at the worst moment
