# Gardak Horn
_Dwarf Wizard | [[Flaming Fist]] | [[Wyrm's Rock]]_
## Summary
The Mage Defender of [[Wyrm's Rock]], a dwarf wizard with a homunculus on his shoulder. The party met him on arrival; [[Cassian]]'s knowledge of [[Baldur's Gate]] flagged his connection to Duke [[Thalamra Vanthampur]], who then demanded a private meeting with [[Cassian]]. Horn reluctantly bent his instructions to let the whole party through into the city.

## Now
Holding his post at [[Wyrm's Rock]], unhappy at having deviated from his instructions to accommodate the party's arrival and [[Thalamra Vanthampur]]'s summons.
## Appearance
A dwarf wizard with a homunculus perched on his shoulder and calculating eyes that study visitors with unsettling intensity.
## Personality
Cautious, procedural, and suspicious. Confers by sending spell before committing to anything; dislikes improvisation and bristles at deviating from orders. Watches everyone.
## Connections
**[[Thalamra Vanthampur]]** — his connection to her flagged him to the party as more than a gate officer.
**[[Cassian]]** — the Duke demanded a private meeting with him.
**[[Reya Mantlemorn]]** — pulled aside with the party at the fortress.
## Background
**The Gate:** He blocked the tunnel with [[Flaming Fist]] veterans and questioned the party, then reluctantly agreed to let them enter the city bound for [[Vanthampur Manor]] while the refugees stayed at [[Rivington]].
