DARK TOOTH
From Earthdawn Dragons


One servant of Mountainshadow, a human Named Dark Tooth, deserves particular attention. Dark Tooth is Mountainshadow's primary messenger and envoy to the world outside the Dragon Mountains, and he carries word from his master to other servants of the dragon scattered throughout Barsaive. Dark Tooth also occasionally hires adepts and adventurers to carry out important tasks for Mountainshadow that cannot - for various reasons - be entrusted to the other Name-givers serving him.

Dark Tooth is a human male, slight of build and unassuming of feature, the sort of human to whom few give a second thought. His hair is dark and he wears a hooded cloak to conceal his features much of the time. He is not known to follow any Discipline, nor has he openly displayed any talents or spells, but the ease with which he appears and disappears and the long years of service to Mountainshadow suggest that he is certainly an adept, perhaps even a drake in human guise. This latter possibility is strongly suggested by an incident said to take place several years ago, when a thief living in a village near the Dragon Mountains decided to follow Dark Tooth one night after the messenger had left the village. The thief's remains were found the next day scattered across the village green - the slaying was clearly not the work of an adept. Most Name-givers heeded the message, and will not pry too deeply into Dark Tooth's affairs. If you wish to learn more of him, you will have to resort to other means than simple questioning of local folk. They rightly fear him and his dragon lord, and will tell you nothing freely.

If Dark Tooth is a drake, he must be an old and experienced one, making him a valuable asset to Mountainshadow and a danger to us. Dark Tooth may very well be the coordinating agent behind Mountainshadow's network of spies, carrying the commands of his master all across Barsaive. Certainly, command of an operation as large in scope as this network of spies is beyond the capabilities of a young drake like Rosper. Gather all the information you can about Dark Tooth and his activities, and you may discover a way to use Mountainshadow's most trusted servant against him.
