Doctor Pepe is a pragmatic and stealthy rogue who initially crossed paths with the party while investigating the Frigid Woe affliction in Palebank Village. A master of lockpicking and striking from the shadows, he favors his crossbow and daggers, though his bravery often gives way to tactical retreats and hiding during overwhelming encounters. He possesses a magical Ring of Comprehension that allows him to read esoteric scripts, and notably wears a unique two-billed olive drab hat. Having recently survived near-drowning in Salsvault and squandered his expedition riches on hedonistic pursuits with a dwarven pelt-sharer, he travels onward with the party toward Uthodurn, ever on the lookout for a lucrative score and a safe hiding spot.
