Covak

 is a very old gnoll who worships The Traveler. As an NPC, Kovak is played by Matthew Mercer

Appearance
Kovak is a very elderly, frail-looking Gnoll who's fur has become mostly white and grey, or fallen away to reveal heavily wrinkled skin. He walks hunched-over with a cane. Kovak is even missing a few teeth, and has noticably bad breath.

Biography
Kovak was approached by the Traveler after his partner was killed by a Gloomstalker in the south, and helped him bring back some joy into his life by deal with lonelyness through pranks and irritating his neighbour. The Traveler promised gifts in the future should Kovak continue to pester and bring a little chaos to Asarius. Though he doesn't visit often, Kovak still thinks of the Traveler as his only friend.

"The Favor" (2x56)
After their escapades beneath the well, Beau and Jester met Kovak after recognizing the Traveler symbol outside his ramshackle hut and inquiring. Kovak shared his history with the Traveler and Jester did the same, but the old gnoll seemed disheartened and bitter when Jester boasted about her closer relationship with their god. Regardless Jester created a small figurine of the Traveler for him to pray to before leaving, and Kovak seemed excited about the upcoming gathering of Traveller believers. He did, however, light Jester's cloak on fire as she left.

Trivia
