Frardarig Qunolth

A silver dragonborn by the name of Frardarig Qunolth. The party first encounters him on the road between Bellford and Vernehlduhr, where he's used magic to carve out a small cave to live there. He lives with Kycies, and claims to the party that he's from the college of magic in Um Bellanore, there to study the Winterthorn, as the mages there belive it has resurfaced.

This is only partially true: he is from Um Bellanore, and he knows about the Winterthorn, but he's not there because he's trying to find it, he's there because he knows exactly where it is, and is hoping that the impassable nature of the mountain range will grant him some safety from the Man in the Blue Jacket.
