Nicodemus Wainwright

"Why do you seek to constantly cause misery in my life?"

-Nicodemus to the Bucket Fillers

Nicodemus Wainwright is the enigmatic guildmaster at the Iscarnen guildhall in Nieveden. He spends most of his time doing paperwork and giving the party minor tasks, and they have only seen the smallest portion of his wrath. He is no-nonsense, and he has a turbulent relationship with the Bucket Fillers.

Pre-Campaign
Little to no information is known about Nicodemus's life before the Ringbearer Chronicles. His ascent to power and accruement of his seven rings are also unknown. What is known is that he knew the Barnette brothers and Woggils because of a small quest he sent them on pre-RBC.

Session 1
Nicodemus meets the party and tells them all about their first quest. They have been contracted by the Etherium Coalition to find the Crown of Cognizance, and artifact that supposedly lets the wearer see the future. It is supposedly being held by a small army of goblins and orcs in the Bendozier Mountains.

Session 2

Nicodemus gives the Bucket Fillers their reward and talks to them about naming themselves. He then tasks them with finding the "T"--a component to the guild's teleporter. The Bucketfillers return with it and Nicodemus sets it back up.

Session 3
Nicodemus catches the Bucket Fillers in the act of trying to covertly use the guild's teleporter. He is enraged that they would bend his trust, and Oggar Silvergrass has to convince him to trust the party. Nicodemus reluctantly agrees.

Session 6
The Bucket Fillers return from killing Jerrus Bigelow, they inform Nicodemus about the death of Dane Barnette. He wishes them a peaceful funeral.

Session 7
Nicodemus assigns the Bucket Fillers the quest to kill Himbothias Chingo.

Session 9
Nicodemus is invited to a fun party by the Bucket Fillers. He and Falafel hate each other from some past event, but Nicodemus generally has a good time. The party eventually inducts him into the Grey Knights, and he agrees to let them use the teleporter to get to Seaforge in order to kill Ulfda Firehammer. Nicodemus assigns them a fake quest to retrieve the Windblade.

Items
Nicodemus has collected plenty of random items and knickknacks over the years. His prized possession is his massive runic greatsword.
