Trout

"Are you seriously going to listen to the mad ramblings of a bitter teenager? Everyone knows teenagers are melodramatic and hysterical. Especially the girls."

— Trout to the Villagers of Talisman, Dragonslayer

Personality

He is shown to be greedy and unempathetic, as he killed one of the original dragonmancers so he could get a bigger share of the treasure they and their apprentices stole. He is also a liar, having manipulated the entire town of Talisman to believe he and the dragonmancers had visions of the dragons' will, which he used to sacrifice anyone he didn't like or to gain more power from the dragon-fearing villagers. He is very haughty and selfish, hoarding all the treasure for himself.
