Backstory
Not much is known, but his office is in a caravan in Thorough Market.
It looks like it hasn't moved for a long time. It's a lot larger on the inside.
Appearance
A grey-skinned gnome at approximately four feet tall.
Massive bulbous nose. Massive bat-like ears.
A messy thatch of hair that cannot decide whether it is black or white.
A little trilby hat jammed on top.
Casual way of speaking. Amicable.
Personality
Magpie knows everything what goes on in Donlon. Or nearly everything, which is why the Billy Krag ambush worrying him.
He is plugged into every part of Donlon. Very perceptive.
Magpie is a fixer of jobs for the crew. There is always something you can do for him.
Normally his jobs pay about 100 - 300 gold pieces.
Likes other to handle the dangerous work while he sits in his Caravan.
He has a photograph of Albert Krag and young Cheeky Dustbins on his shelf.
He found Rover chained outside Punch' mansion and cut him loose.
He has been working on Rover's restoration.
In his own space he is formidable:
Pete's Intimidation of 4 did nothing.
Maureen's Friends cantrip and her Command spell both failed against him.
When Command was cast the walls of his caravan literally constricted.
His office expands and contracts according to his mood and/or magic.
He is not to be underestimated.
He emerges from a tea cosy.
Relationships
• Rover: Rescued him from Punch's mansion. Has been working on his restoration.
• Cheeky & Albert Krag (deceased): As Magpie has a photograph of Albert, it suggests a prior relationship.
• The crew: Their employer (from time to time).
Notable quotes
Episode 1:
"I resent the accusation."
Episode 2:
"Well, even an enterprising individual such as myself has to see that there is a level of risk being taken by yourselves that I am not.
I will be high and mighty in my caravan for most of the day."
