HISTORY
A halfling alchemist that is tired of the "status quo" and is seeking to stir things up, perhaps violently. He was the lab assistant of an unpopular wizard who met the "heavy hand of the law" when he violated a rather obscure zoning law that required him to have prior approval before updating his landscaping to include the petrified statues of some "messengers" from the local thieves guild...who knew the HOA's were literally the province of devils? As he was considered technically property, he was to become a ward of the state until an heir could be found, but he escaped while the estate was going through Probate Court. While waiting for the Courts to decide his fate, he found that the keys to his manacles had been left too close to him by a clerk. He didn't know if it was on purpose or not, as he recollects that clerk being somewhat absentminded about his duties, but to this day he still remembers what he looked like.Quasi-Tie in with: Valeron Legis.
Since then, he has continued to develop his skills in Alchemy and has been using his race and status to gain access to various households and cause all sorts of troubles.
While waiting to select new targets for shenanigans, Wart usually works as an unskilled laborer in either the [Insert Local Tavern Name Here], or as a general laborer for the city. He has heard of, and had the occasion to view the Witches of Rego Cader in the Ramble Gardens. He used to have dealings with them, concerning gathering rare herbs for his master's studies, but he has been watching them recently to figure out if he can trust them as a reliable source for information.

DESCRIPTION
Wart looks very similar to any other slip here in Westcrown. He is short, standing only 3'2" tall, looks rather gangly overall with a small pot belly. He probably doesn't even weigh more that 36 pounds...just look at the scrawny slip! His skin tone is that ever present almond color, and his hair is just a few shades lighter. Don't trust the little peck though...he is so full of it that it has tinted his eyes brown. His pointy ears hold the appropriate notches to denote slave status, as well as a piercing in the left lobe for the traditional hoop earring in case you miss the notches. His clothing matches what you would expect a slip to wear I suppose...he doesn't stick out if that is what you mean. Just looks like your average slip.
Description while dressed for Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap:
"Yes, officer...I got a good look. It was short, with furry feet...it was a durned dirty slip. It had on some rather worn looking leather armor, a hat with a medium width brim, and a red mask. Color? Oh, Carnelian...real deep red...almost the color of blood. It had a sash across its chest, all pockets and such. What'd it do? Well, it mixed up something small, and threw it through a broken window pane. That little slip used one of those slings they are fond of...yeah, that's right it threw a small something at the house, and then it blew the whistle that you heard and ran off. It turned the corner over there just as the explosion went off. I came over to see if anything had been left, but all I found was this rose...stuck in the paver stones here as if it was growing out of it. I just know that little slip left it there, but I didn't see it place the rose before it was gone around the corner."
