Appearance
Iver is a tiny middle-aged gnome man. His hair is tattered and tangled, a dark brown color with salt-and-pepper gray towards the edges of his temples. He has a big thick chin beard that looks like it's been left to grow and curl on itself, and gives him a fuzzy chin strap. He looks as if he's suffered a little bit of frostbite at the tip of his nose at some point, since it is a little dark and nubbed at the edge. He wears thick furs and has equipment on his back. He has an accent indicating he is from the area around Hupperdook.

The Mighty Nein encountered Iver at excavation location A2. He told them he was the lookout for a party of five others who had gone deeper into the ruins and not returned for days. He had had to be "creative" to acquire food. He admitted that he was scared and starting to go a "little crazy," and that although he thought it had been about a week and a half since the rest of his party disappeared, time was a bit strange in the caverns and it could be longer or shorter. He told the party he had heard strange noises from further in, like a deep-voiced baby crying. Caleb gave him several beads of nourishment which Iver accepted eagerly.

The Mighty Nein met with Iver again after their investigation of A2. Iver became suspicious after Caduceus lied to him, claiming they did not find what they were looking for within the ruins. His distrust grew as the Nein revealed they were unable to find any of Iver's party alive. Suspecting they may have killed his party in order to loot the ruins, Iver quickly gathered his gear and attempted to flee. Beau pursued him, but Iver cut the rope behind him. Fjord then flew after him, and he and Dagen successfully cornered Iver. Iver was then forced to travel and spend the night with the Mighty Nein, so Jester could modify his memory once she has rested.

Before the group completed a full rest, the Tombtakers caught up to them. Lucien dispelled Caleb's Tiny Hut, covering the party with snow. Iver attempted to hide under the snow while the Mighty Nein negotiated with the Tombtakers, the parties eventually agreeing to travel together. Lucien asked if Iver would be coming with them, but Iver said he intended to return to Balenpost. He parted ways with the group, heading south to the outpost alone.
