Lonny Valleybrook

The former Councilor of Trade for the Caravan City of Scornubel, Lonny was a younger halfling man with a curly blonde moustache and a matching head of blonde curls. Lonny was a relatively new name in Scornubel compared to most of the other city government.

He excelled in the fur trade industry that was popular in the area, having taken over his dad's small, fur buying-and-selling business, using it to leverage purchases of a few others around town, giving him an effective monopoly on the fur industry in and around Scornubel. Though the young halfling loved money and his trade deals were not the most scrupulous, he still made an effort to make sure things were fairly paid for, especially to the trappers who did the majority of the work. In reality, his deals usually always weren't great for the other business owners, but they too had a love of money and didn't look out for the workers as much as Lonny did.

Lonny was talked into taking the Councilor of Trade job by Anya Selden, who had become impressed by his charisma and frank attitude in a business deal she oversaw regarding a bulk purchase of furs by traders from Baldur's Gate. The previous Councilor of Trade had been killed by a group of mercenaries hired by the Zhentarim, or that was the rumor at least, and Anya had been looking for a qualified replacement. This offer of course struck Lonny with major anxiety and fear, but he knew how this position could further his burgeoning trade empire and he was sure his father would respect him for taking the position. He (somewhat reluctantly) took the job, and had only been in power for a little over a half a year before the events of the Scornubel Summit.

Current Status:
Following months of attacks by the Zhentarim that had made Lonny and the other councilors on edge, the day of the Scornubel Summit arrived, a day he had feared as it would be his first time back out in large, public crowds in over two months. The beginning of the day was fine and uneventful, but by the end Lonny and Wanda Craghold, the Councilor of the Interior, were gone. They had been caught in the center of a large blast caused by the Zhentarim's phlogiston bombs after the dark group had attacked the crowd at the end of the Scornubel Summit, a blast meant to take out all the councilors with Anya barely surviving and Zoltan only surviving due to rushing into the fight when the cultists first revealed themselves.
