Werpfoil the Cunning's page

Tall and slender for a kobold, Werpfoil's small, serpentine black scales and draconic horns and jaws present an air of majesty about him. His clothing and gear are meticulously clean and it is clear that he makes an effort to present a more civilized appearance than some of his bretheren. Looking about himself with a cool, calculating eye, it is clear that this kobold's pride is undaunted by an apparent lack of martial prowess and a cool confidence exudes from him.

Werpfoil was never a strong combatbant as a youth, but his viscious bite and draconic features kept him safe the from bullying that often sets more intellectual kobolds behind in the social order. Realizing that a strong reputation and little cleverness could surpass martial skill in gaining social standing, Werpfoild spent his youth learning how to manipulate events through social influence rather than through direct confrontation, gaining a reputation for cleverness and influence along with a wide group of friends and allies.

When he began to come of age, a mystical lizard-creature he came to know as Dragon formed a mystical bond with Werpfoil and the kobold's intellectual gifts quickly blossomed into arcane power. Since then, Werpfoild has used his intellectual, social, and arcane gifts not only to his own benefit, but with the goal of strengthening the Sootscale tribe as a whole. He is not ignorant of the likely back-biting that may occur as he pushes for the greater good as much as his own self-aggrandizement, but he also realizes that true power can only come if the Kobolds overcome their rivals such as the Mites, Halfings, and Gnomes and threaten even the Big Folk for dominance of the region. Such a goal would benefit himself, of course, but only with all of his tribe working in concert could such a goal be acheived. To this end, Werpfoild has made efforts at establishing alliances among his tribe and often attempts to diffuse conflicts without feuding - trying to make the whole of the Sootscale tribe stronger than the individual parts.

Clever and confident would be the first words to describe Werpfoil, though the females of the tribe may include handsome first. His confidence often slips into pride and vanity, but he is fair and honest with allies and friends enough that resentment is not often an issue. While this seems benevolent for a kobold, it is done in a calculated fashion as a means to an end - his goal of making the Sootscale tribe greater so that his own potential power will grow as well. To this end, he is also though is willing to use threats and guile to get his way as well.
