Oltgar Dradegon

 is a toymaker in Uthodurn who formerly employed Chetney Pock O'Pea. As an NPC, 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. In 843 PD, he had a disagreement with Chetney Pock O'Pea, whom he mentored, over a "change of direction" that apparently involved the materials they used. The disagreement escalated until Chetney "messed up [Oltgar] something fierce" and was chased out of the city by the Glassblade guards.

Chetney later elaborated that he and Oltgar had gotten along well for quite some time, but an unnamed third party drove a wedge between them, at which point Chetney stabbed Oltgar through the hand and the other person in the knee.
