![[Avery.png]] # Avery Lasling _Mousefolk Harper Agent | [[Harpers]] | [[Waterdeep]]_ ## Summary [[Phase]]'s father and a [[Harpers]] agent who initially concealed his Harper affiliation from his son. A skilled inventor and engineer with a longstanding rivalry with [[Trobriand]] the Metal Mage. Captured by [[Halaster Blackcloak]] and delivered to sahuagin who planned to sacrifice him to "Sharkaloth"—rescued by the party. Later proved his worth to [[Phase]] by solving a complex equation that had previously eluded his son, leading to their reconciliation. [[Trobriand]] threatened to kill [[Phase]] due to his grudge against Avery, claiming Avery had stolen his "love"—likely some form of construct. %% ## At a Glance _Active NPC from Dragon Heist / Dungeon of the Mad Mage.
