Description[]

Appearance[]

Protto was a halfling man with a weaselly looking face[1] and a scraggly goatee.

Protto was a sarcastic individual and was critical of his boss Lorenzo's methods, though not to the point he would say so to his face. He saw the slaves he transported as little more than "merchandise" showing an utter lack of empathy.

Biography[]

Background[]

"Divergent Paths" (2x25)[]

A group of dark figures (likely Dwelma, Protto, Ruzza, and Wohn) attacked Fjord, Jester, and Yasha when they moved away from the rest of the Mighty Nein camping for the night. The attack made no noise. After a struggle, Fjord, Jester, and Yasha were all bound and gagged. The Iron Shepherds dragged them to Lorenzo to show off their catches then locked them in cages. The carts with the cages continued along the road.

"Found & Lost" (2x26)[]

Beauregard, Caleb, Keg, Molly, and Nott ambushed the Iron Shepherds on the Glory Run Road. Protto was driving the cart that Keg felled a tree on top of. He jumped out of the way of the tree and joined the battle.

"Converging Fury" (2x27)[]

Nila (using Wild Shape to take the form of a mouse) saw Protto talking with Wohn while having a meal inside the Sour Nest. Protto complained that Lorenzo had killed several captives in the battle by using his Cone of Cold spell. Nila snuck out to explore another room without either of them noticing her.[2]
