Zook Z. Pepperclank

A Gnome who never asked for any of this.

Physical Description
At three and a half feet tall, Zookalin is quite "average" when compared to the typical gnome.

Background
The pipeweed he was chased by the Hill Giants over wasn’t pipeweed. It was mimulus dracunculus, a deadly nightshade that disguises itself as mimulus vernix – a rare healing herb said to be able to revive the dead (old apothecary legend, but...there’s always truth in legends). One of the Halfling guildmasters, Welby Underbough, asked Zook to retrieve the vernix for him under the guise that it was to heal the somnucide disease that was plaguing Zook's home city of Milford Haven. Come to find out, Welby had been poisoning the village in an attempt to take the town elder’s relic (some kind of illusion staff), but the town healer was curing people too fast (giving them [A SMALLER DISEASE THAT ISN’T FATAL]), tricking him into thinking it was just as deadly, requiring this rare herb. With the dracunculus, he was able to sneak it into the water supply, killing everyone, including Zook's parents, within a week. Zook had put blind trust into the guildmaster and got all his family killed. That’s when he attached himself to the Altmer Clan.

Adopted himself into Yenkas' elven clan after they saved him from a Hill Giant. Since Yenkas' death, he has slowly learned the need to use his illusions and magic offensively.

Has developed a keen mind in his years, remembering anything he has seen or heard in the last 30 days, direction, and the hours until next sunrise/sunset. He uses this ability to the annoyance of his party members.

Magic Skills
Due to his "on-the-job" learning, Zook's illusion spells frequently fail when used offensively, as he is not used to running on high adrenaline. His skill as an apothecary has translated into his magic usage, favoring poisons and acids, and pseudo-natural effects over the more flashy and ubiquitous fire and ice magics.

Alter Egos
With his ability to disguise himself with illusions, Zook has been known to take on alter egos as needed.

Belrock Brownanvil of the Third Clan
Dwarf alter-ego, used to get information out of various dwarves on the way to and inside Moradin during the initial Gnome uprisings.
