🔦🎭 NPC Spotlight: Grelk the Agitator – Architect of Discord

By Charlie Stayton, Behind the Die

The flames of conflict are rarely born from chaos alone. More often than not, they are carefully stoked, tended by unseen hands that revel in the discord they create. Enter Grelk the Agitator, a man whose whispers carry more weight than any blade, and whose shadow lingers in the wake of growing unrest.

Who is Grelk?

Grelk is a human manipulator, a master of sowing distrust and inflaming tensions. Whether motivated by personal vendettas, ideological fervor, or the simple pleasure of watching turmoil unfold, his presence in any settlement heralds instability. Clad in darkened leather armor that absorbs ambient light, he is often little more than a silhouette in the crowd, save for the gleam of cold determination in his eyes.

His words are sharper than steel, his influence stretching like an unseen web through the communities he targets. Grelk has chosen the fragile peace between humans and kobolds as his latest stage, spreading whispers of treachery, inciting fear, and turning neighbor against neighbor with a well-placed lie.

Grelk the Agitator is more than a villain—he’s a reminder of how fragile peace can be, and how easy it is for one voice to turn harmony into discord. Whether the players choose to expose him, confront him, or even attempt to redeem him, his presence in your world will leave lasting consequences.

How will your party handle Grelk’s machinations? Will they uncover the truth before it’s too late, or will they too become ensnared in his web of deception?
