The Black Spider

The Black Spider is a drow (dark elf) agent that was searching for the Wave Echo Cave. For months he and his minions had the entire area under threat by use of the local goblin tribes and the Redhands Gang. He died as the heroes, aided by Gundren Rockseeker and Sildar Hallwinter, raided and reclaimed Wave Echo Cave. His ultimate motive was never determined, and whatever higher power sent him to Phandalin is surely planning another attack.
