In-Game Biography
Nikosh Bracegirdle comes from a large halfling community in Chessenta that occupies the Adler's Swamp and consists almost entirely of bards and performers of various sorts. As a youngster, Nikosh showed no talent for singing or juggling, but he contributed to the commune's well-being by cutting purses during the shows. Later, he had discovered his true calling, after meeting a peddler: the halfling is gifted with a rare ability to tell genuine antique jewelry from fake. Nikosh, with his relations' blessing, started his own antique trade, and later acquired a rather more prosaic talent to produce... er... copies of valuable artwork. This trade proved not as profitable as he had hoped, and in fact, he got into troubles with the authorities quite often. To spare the Barony grief, Nikosh left Chessenta and eventually set up a shop of his own in Waterdeep. He traveled North in search of the steady supply of scrimshaw and local artifacts.

Personality
Nikosh is a classic reluctant adventurer with an eye on profits and great reluctance to die a hero. He brings common sense and down to earth attitude to the party. He also likes to cook, eat and feed his companions. However there is also an obsessive side to Nikosh. He is a talented relic hunter, and will not shy away from petty theft and forgery if there is a prized artifact to be won. And if that's not enough, Nikosh's biggest dream is to become a respectable trader, buy a villa in Chessenta, stuff it full of gorgeous art and marry a nice halfling girl. Oh, when he is provoked, Nikosh does not become a dangerous foe. Rather he is like a stone in your boot: nothing really, but terribly annoying.
