Gwynplaine

Gwynplaine first appeared in the Realms in 1009 at the Black and White Ball, accompanied by his closest friend and sword, Jack. Nobody is quite sure where he is from, or what his goals are in the Realms, not even him.

Early Realms Career
First known only as The Jester, Gwynplaine found his way to the Realms first at the 1009 Black & White masquerade ball. There are many rumors about his origins. Some say he was a prince that had his face mutilated and was then banished. Others think he is someone more well known in disguise, playing out some kind of double life. A small few believe he doesn't actually exist.

He had with him a 3ft sword named Jack that he would occasionally talk to, and supposedly it talked back to him. Perhaps not the strangest thing seen around the Realms, but still unusual. The mask he was wearing also seemed to change throughout the day. It would have black circles over the eyes, a spade, sharp teeth, "ƎM ꟼ⅃ƎH", or other strange designs. This seems to have stopped with the current "damaged" mask.

Gwynplaine made sporadic appearances over the next several years, showing up maybe once or twice a year. During this time he trained to be an assassin, using Jack as his Assassin's Blade.

Recent Realms Career
In (10XX) just before (that insanity event I cannot remember for the life of me), Gwynplaine began the process of having his insides replaced with clockwork.

Around 1018 or 1019 Gwynplaine gave up professional assassinating when his clockwork process was completed. He is now able to recover much easier from extreme wounds.

As of August 1021 Gwynplaine hasn't been seen in a while, his absence as mysterious as his existence.
