Angus lived in a quiet gnome community in the Melvek Wilds, near Fort Lester until his cousin Horny Bill was murdered and several months later most of his own household staff was eaten during the infamous raid of the Black Plague orc army. All told, Angus decided that maybe now would be a good time to move east, and visit his cousin Dorgo, whom he had heard had gotten a soft gig as household alchemist with some mighty wizard or another. So Angus (please, call me Mr. Fabulous) has been wandering around pretending to be a high and powerful gnome overlord and trying not to get into too much trouble. So he is basically passing through the area, stopping at Fort Blacksword to visit Dorgo, Whitefire's gnome follower.
