Adam learned early that a great story makes everything easier. The Dreggar family owns a tavern and inn back in Stellavallis in the High Dales. Adam learned the secrets of making beer and liquor before his 10th birthday, but he never quite caught the performance bug. He prefers close-up sleight of hand tricks to a stage full of light and noise.
He struck off on his own, as teenagers do, but he never found a group to click with, always playing the part of the mercenary specialist. He got rich pretty quickly, and he decided to change his focus from going to get money to having the money come to him. He came to Fellport and learned all he could about the social situation before making a move.
He bought a cheap bar with a decent location from a distraught family (he didn't ask too many questions), and found a small dragon skull in the storeroom with other odd treasures. He did some research and commissioned the magical fabrication of a huge dragon skull to hang over the bar. Thus, Dragonskull Brewing came into existence, complete with tales of a distant relation who slew the very dragon that now hangs in the pub.
Adam works at Dragonskull nearly every day, as he has for the entire 4 years of Dragonskull's existence. His creations keep his customers happy, and their gold keeps him happy. He sells more than drinks by offering experiences. He makes stories that people want to hear, then spreads snippets of information among his dedicated patrons. Eventually everyone works together and figures out the story, then they all have a drink to celebrate, and Adam smiles with pride for another fabricated story that brings friends together and provides great memories.
Adam's youth lets him brew in the morning and tend bar all night. His short and spiky black hair never seems to grow, and he steadfastly shaves every day. His brown eyes sparkle when he smiles, and he trades free drinks for juicy tidbits of gossip.
