Oltgar Dradegon

Oltgar is a toymaker in Uthodurn who formerly employed Chetney Pock O'Pea. As an NPC, Oltgar is played by Matthew Mercer.

Description
Oltgar is described by former coworker Zadro Ichlen as "a cutthroat little dick" who otherwise did good work, but another former coworker Chetney Pock O'Pea, who referred to Oltgar as a "fiend" and "the worst kind of person", felt that Oltgar had "betrayed the very craft". Oltgar drove both Chetney and Zadro to such extreme antagonism that they were hostile to and paranoid around one another out of their distrust for Oltgar.

Biography
Oltgar is a master toymaker and toy designer. He apparently worked at some point in the Heartmoor Hamlet in Marquet at the Knot Forgotten with Zadro Ichlen, whom he trained. Zadro said that he nearly ruined "my business" before he suddenly left for the port of Sapiro Haven no earlier than 823 PD. Afterward, he was in Uthodurn in Wildemount. Oltgar and Chetney had gotten along well for quite some time, mentoring Chetney, and devoting their time to make masterful wooden toys. But at some point, wooden toys fell out of fashion and, in 843 PD, an unnamed third party came to their shop, suggesting that kids more fond of things made out of metal, and drove a wedge between Oltgar and Chetney. This individual wanted a share of the ownership over the store, which agered Chetney and the disagreement escalated until he stabbed him in the knee and Oltgar through the hand, and was chased out of the city by the Glassblade guards.
