Description: This western man's face is deformed and paralyzed on one side. As such, he slurs his words together.

His voice is smooth and creepy, always level, but somehow just slightly unnerving.

Personality: He is almost excessively polite to everyone, even when angry. To his fellows he is seen as friendly and intelligent, but is angry and unforgiving to the so called fatcats and any who do and have associated with them.

History: Naal hails from a village terrorized by illithids. His parents were killed by illithids in a raid when he was still a young child.
