Ipess

 is a gnomish pirate and the former second mate on board the Squall-Eater. As an NPC, Ipess is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Ipess is a sun-burned gnome with a bald head and a bushy, black beard.

Personality
While his banter is a little crazed and hard to follow, he too is a devout follower of Avantika and Uk'otoa.

Ipess was present for the fierce battle between the crew of the Squall-Eater and The Mighty Nein. Using his skills as a rouge he fired down on the Mighty Nien from the deck of the ship whilst they retreated across the docks, hitting Caduceus once. After Fjord summoned a Barlgura onto the Squall-Eater's deck he instead turned his attention to the demon until a fireball cast by Caleb felled the creature, injured Ipess and killed many of his crewmates.

As the battle comes to a fiery end and local guards begin to apprehend those involved with the battle, Ipess checks on an unconscious Vera before he himself is apprehended by the guards. He is last seen still in The Revelry's custody alongside Bouldergut, Jeremiah Willowhisk and another unnamed crewmate after the execution of Avantika.
