Albert

An air genasi wizard, potion seller, and branded spy for the Collector, Alfred troubled the party on multiple occasions before his eventual death.

Appearance
A slim man with bright blue skin and a bald head, Albert's most striking feature was his vivid colouration. He dressed in a typical wizard's garb.

He was first introduced as the proprietor of "The Potion Shop", a self-explanatory establishment in the town of Log Hill. Having got himself into quite substantial debt from bar tabs he's constantly failed to pay, Albert found himself paying an unconventional cost: he had been confined to an enchanted lamp, unable to extricate himself until he paid his dues or was aided by another. Freed by Bobby Knock-Knackle, he bid farewell with an offer of gratutide freebies from his shop should the party pass by.

Though he does indeed offer freebies (a bottle of "Gaviscon", a potion for healing burns, and a wand that turns out to be a Wand of the Pact Keeper), he is fast revealed to not be what he first appears. When caught (but not identified thanks to his hooded robes) eavesdropping on the party's conversation, he takes advantage of a pre-prepared distraction: a giant scorpion from the nearby forest he'd led towards the town. In the resultant chaos, he manages to make an escape without being recognised.
