Niggle

Niggle is an old man. When he was born a wise woman prophesized that he was going on a long journey that would be the end of his mortal life, but now as his body slowly dies he wonders if that can really be true. One thing is for certain he is in no hurry to go.

He was trained as a librarian in Bree, but when the library there closed down he began travelling around, committing himself to his longtime hobby: painting. He has learned some useful tricks (some might call them magic) through all his reading and they come in handy in many strange situations on his journeys.
