Iarno Albreck

Iarno was initially a member of the Lords' Alliance, who was sent to the town of Phandalin to establish constabulary (as the town did not have a powerful authority). Circa 1491 DR, Iarno broke ties with the Lords' Alliance and created the Redbrands under the guidance of Nezznar. Iarno knew of Nezznar from his contacts in the Lords' Alliance and negotiated a meeting with the drow, seeing a chance to line his pockets.

After the party burned Tresendar Manor to the ground and drove him away, Iarno sought to lay low and keep out of the Lords' Alliance's sights. Though he wishes to meet with Nezznar, he does not know the location of the mines. For now he has contacted Halia Thornton who set him up with supplies to take refuge in Triboar, a big city he can get lost in, while also planting the seeds of the Zhentharim.
