History:
Pesky Diago started out as a squire for Charles III during Charles'
training as a warrior in the Arabelan army. Charles and Pesky soon
left the employment of the army to adventure on their own. They headed
towards the City Of Splendors. Pesky got into trouble quickly after
arriving in Waterdeep. Having robed a noble's Gem shop, the owner who was
also a member of the infamous group called the Shadow Thieves, pesky was
caught and sentenced to six months hard labor, this being where he picked
up his use of the military pick. To this day, Pesky fears the Shadow Thieves
and hopes they have forgotten about him.
After getting out of prison, Pesky, Charles, and company were hired to
go to a place in Waterdeep called Blue Alley. After Pesky nearly dies inside
Blue Alley(He foolishly jumped off a ledge he never bothered to see if
there was a floor nearby, and was barely saved by a female companion who
was lucky enough to posses a Ring of Feather Falling) they discovered a
very intoxicating wine. They hired a brewers guild to produce the wine
in a less potent form, and gave the guild rights to sell the wine, in return
Pesky and company received a percentage amount of the sales. The wine,
called Blue(from it's naturally brilliant color), sold very well and continues
to sell well to this day. Pesky's adventures led him to the Dalelands.

Pesky was invited, mostly against his will, to go with a party hunting
a young dragon. During the battle, Pesky used a Ring Of Jumping to
propel himself wielding a short sword into the dragon's eye, burying the
sword and most of his upper body in the dragon's head. The dragon
flung Pesky into the cavern wall and knocked him unconscious. After
awakening, quite sore and still very scared, Pesky walked away with a very
special dagger and a nice amount of gold for his efforts.
Soon after when they were hired to help defend a stronghold from an invading
army of drow. Pesky was sent as a scout into the underdark to gather
info on the army. Before entering the underdark, Myak had Pesky's dagger
further enchanted with a continual light spell, so he could see in the
tunnels. On his way in Pesky encountered three drow patrolling
the underground caves and was forced into battle with them. This is where
Pesky discovered his dagger's special powers. Pesky quite easily disposed
of the evil beings and continued on, after robing the bodies of everything
of value of course!
Pesky discovered the drow city, and proceeded into it. With the aid
of a teleportation device and a hell of a lot of luck, Pesky stumbled into
a royal storage chamber containing numerous magical items and money.
Pesky mad out with several chests and items, before he was discovered by
the drow patrol. In his attempt to escape pesky used a recently purchased
magical item called a "Spider harness" to climb the walls of the chamber
and eventually onto the ceiling trying to get away from the reach of the
patrol's swords. In a last ditch effort Pesky propelled himself off
the ceiling and buried a dagger into the skull of a drow patrol before
grabbing one last chest of items and teleporting to safety.
Pesky eventually went back to Waterdeep where he started running a low
profile thieves' guild out of his home. Pesky met his wife when she
came looking to Pesky for admittance into his guild. The two married
and now have a one month old baby boy. Just recently, The Lords of
Waterdeep, discovered Pesky's Guild, with the help of The Xanathar Thieves'
Guild, and forced Pesky to flee the city along with his wife, child, and
most trusted companion, Chester Quickdagger, to Ardesserin, a forest town
east of Waterdeep, Where Pesky's good friend David Tarm resides at his
Keep.
Motivations/Goals: Pesky's greatest concern is living, and living well.
But just as important, is his wife and son. Having had his thieves'
guild in Waterdeep recently disbanded, Pesky is now looking to return to
the easy life.
Campaign
Uses: Pesky will be readily willing to help any PC with an adventure,
as long as he has a chance to come out a little richer than he goes in,
and if the PCs can convince him that the adventure poses little or no risk
to him.
