Devargo Barvasi

Full Title: Devargo Barvasi, the King of Spiders

Description
Not much is known about the eniqmatic King of Spiders, but he lives up to his title in more ways than one.

First, he is a true spider of the underworld, his web spanning almost all the city and is sure to always know what is worth knowing about someone.

Second is his more direct connection with the creatures and the reason for his moniker. He is said to be able to telepathically communicate with spiders and the inside of Eel's End is pratically crawling with them and their webs. He is a tall man with very short black hair, a knowing smile and piercing blue eyes. His leather armor is outfitted with assorted spidery assesories, like spiderweb chains across his chest and a spider-shaped baldric. His bladed gauntlets glisten with poison. Several spiders can always be seen crawling over his body, but he seems to take no notice.

History
You were tasked by Cressida Kroft to acquire some information from Devargo regarding a Chelaxian diplomat who was becoming a danger to the city.

After being escorted to Devargo's stronghold Eel's End by Vencarlo Orisini, you entered the heavily guarded compound. After enjoying the spectacles of the site (Jamroar fumbling his Constitution) you entered Eel's End itself and met with the King of Spiders. After some diplomacy, some bribery and a few rounds of a sadistic game known as Knivesies, Devargo got impressed enough with you that he gave you the requested information and sent you off.

When you returned to the Guard with the documents, Cressida rewarded you, but you got the destinct impression that she wouldn't mind seeing Devargo removed from power. She did however ask you to find Trinia Sabor before anything else.

After chasing Trinia over the Shingles, you planned to return to Eel's End and despense some justice. You had a prolonged battle with Devargo and his enforcers, where you cornered him in his quarters and struck him down. You also discovered the reason for the mans seemingly unnatural control over spiders: an Ettercap named Chittersnap in the hold of his ship, which you killed. You also discovered evidence that Devargo was a major producer of the drug Shiver.

Returning to Cressida, she told that she had heard what had gone on, and awarded you the Pseudodragon's Mark for your general service to Korvosa and remarked that it shouldn't be taken as a reward for any particular action, but gave a wink to each of you in secret.
