Thed is a halfling rogue. As an NPC, Thed is played by Matthew Mercer.

Description[]

Appearance[]

He has short, spiky, dark hair and a little goatee that was trimmed to a point at the end of his chin. He has swirled, serpentine shaped tattoos[1] that fold and knot together in a thick band that completely encompass his neck.[2] He wore nice, black-gray leather armor.[3] He has two missing teeth on one side and he has a septum piercing in his nose.[4]

Personality[]

He was a noted liar, having claimed to be an ale hand that had been using the sewers as a shortcut[5], that he had a key to the sewers,[6] and that Jester took his money.

Beau:  "You real thankful?"
Thed:  "Yeah."
Beau:  "Real grateful? You feel like we did you a good service today?"
Thed:  "I'd happily pay you, but your friend already took all my money."
Jester:  "I didn't take anything from you!"
Beau:  "I just want one--"
Laura:  "I didn't take anything from his pockets."
Matt:  "That's what he's saying."
Laura:  (gasp)

Biography[]

Background[]

"Waste and Webs" (2x10)[]

Thed was found encased in webbing within the nest of the phase spider within the sewers of Zadash.[8] When he was woken up by Jester, he panicked after seeing the bodies of the spider's other victims. When Thed said he was grateful after being rescued, Beau said he could repay the party by telling them about the Gentleman. Thed initially denied knowing anything, but Nott reassured him by using Thieves' Cant.[9]

"The Gentleman's Path" (2x19)[]

When the Mighty Nein return to the Evening Nip, they witnessed Thed fighting Louis, with Thed ultimately winning the fight.[10]

Relationships[]

The Gentleman[]

Thed seems to be afraid of the Gentleman and giving out too much information about him.[11]

"Look. I cannot tell you anything, except for, if you want to find him, there is a place you can inquire. If I give you any more information and that gets around, I am deader than that spider would have left me."

"There's a dive, naught but five blocks from here, called the Evening Nip. Don't say his name. Just walk up to the old man behind the counter and mention you'd like a drink, and while you have no coin, you'd be willing to offer many gifts."

'Many gifts' is the important part. Now, I hope that's been of service, and I-- as you seem to be the types who see it fit to save a person that you haven't met in the bottom of a terrible sewer, I would hope that you would be kind enough to know that that information did not come from me, and that you've never seen me before in your entire life."
