Known commonly as Taklak, he is a mean Kobold who makes a meaner living tracking down people for pay. Unlike some people who collect bounties, though, Taklak isn’t a savage who follows quarry into or through the wilderness. He’s involved in a lucrative trade, in the place wherever he lives, that routinely tests his skills and survival instincts. What’s more, he isn’t alone, as a bounty hunter in the wild would be: Taklak routinely interacts with both the criminal subculture and other bounty hunters, maintaining contacts in both areas to help him succeed.

He is a cunning thief-catcher, prowling the rooftops to catch one of the myriad burglars of the city. He is also someone who has his ear to the street, aware of the doings of thieves’ guilds and street gangs, and is in frequent contact with people associated with the criminal underworld. The communities where Taklak plies his trade might be Faerûn’s great metropolises, such as Waterdeep or Baldur’s Gate, or less populous locations, perhaps Luskan or Yartar — any place that’s large enough to have a steady supply of potential quarries.
