Sedry is a puppet master, a half-elf who seems unfindable and hidden at all times. He commonly works through several layers of minions and hirelings, most of whom who have never met him.
Sedry is the dedicated Grandmaster of the Watchers for the Coming Sunset, a man with many worlds upon his shoulders, and a burning desire to save them all. He may run across the PCs in very different ways- as an antagonist, desperate that they don’t disturb whatever long-running plan he has going, or as a secretive patron (or both of these). He ‘thinks big’, and is willing to make what seems like terrible sacrifices in order to prevent worse outcomes for all of the world (for example: the PCs may be hired to assist an evil cult in their goals, knowing that his will bring them to the attention of another group, and Sedry will be able to track them by their interference). He seems ruthless, callous, and unconcerned, but is secretly a tragic figure, remembering and regretting all the losses he has seen, and wondering why he couldn’t save more. Notable quirks: * Sedry is openly worried by new plant growth, owing to a disaster he averted some years ago, about which he won’t speak. * He worries whenever he hears about lunar activity, and immediately takes notice of people mentioning comets or lights in the night sky. * He is always hungry for information, and asks odd questions like “how many fingers did <that particular goblin> have?” or “curious... how old were the <dragon>’s scars?”. * He keeps an enormous stash of healing potions, rope, and other miscellaneous equipment. He is happy to give it out to those who need it in his service. * As an employer, he leaves instructions to collect equipment, instructions, and payment in different locations, never meeting anyone personally. On occasion, he may appear, cloaked and masked, with a voice-changing cantrip and a Ring of Mind Shielding. * Everything he worries about is factually (to some extent) true. He is well-informed enough, and aware of enough threats, that just about every precaution he takes is worthwhile. Many attempts have been made on his life, sometimes even by former employees.
