Sprigg

Sprigg is an arcane trickster gnome. He is played by Darin De Paul.

Appearance
Sprigg is an elderly gnome. He is bald on top with a long white beard. He has a bit of a distant look in his eyes.

Personality
Darin De Paul said that he originally thought of Sprigg as Fagin, a Charles Dickens character, who was just going to steal everything he could, but that the goodness in everybody brought out the goodness in him.

Background
Sprigg was part of an adventuring party for some time and they considered themselves to be heroes. However, during a battle with hobgoblins all of them were slain except for Sprigg, who ran away. The gnome spent the next thirty-seven years isolated in his home.

Demistrik
Demistrik is an imp that shares a homested with Sprigg. While the nature of their relationship is for the most part unknown, it was stated that Demistrik’s master died within the confines of Sprigg’s home. Their cohabitation is likely a result of Demistrik’s master’s demise.
