Durnan

Owner of The Yawning Portal, but there's more to this "humble barkeep" than meets the eye...

Human?

Male

Unknown. He appears to be in his 40s, but has dropped hints that he may be much older.

Legendary muttonchop mustache.
Kind of a constant fixture in the Yawning Portal, never seems to change.

5'10"

Surprisingly muscular.

Tanned

Brown

Messy; might be starting to bald a little bit.

Mutton chops, thin; stubbly chin

Brown

Simple and utilitarian, like a typical barkeep. Presumably he could afford to dress fancier, but he doesn't.

• Amazing swordsman


• Can drink more alcohol in one sitting than the rest of Waterdeep combined

• Cagey af

Tavern owner, bartender

• Durnan's a fixture of the community, well-loved by his patrons and Waterdeep at large. Everybody knows Durnan.
  
  
  • Oddly, during an audience with the Lords' Council, the Masked Lords acted like they'd never heard of him...
  
  
  
  


• Has an "understanding" with the City Watch, ie. they don't hang around the Yawning Portal or interfere with Durnan's business. It's unclear what the Watch gets out of the arrangement.

Big honkin' sword

Smoke on the Water suspects Durnan may be a member of The White Sanctuary.
