# [[Lazda Venkervale]]
Lazda Venkervale was originally from [[Otari]], but according to his mother [[Brelda Venkervale]], people saw him leaving Otari last year with a hooded stranger. We eventually found him in [[The Gauntlight]] after he was tortured repeatedly. He is the owner of [[The Rowdy Rockfish]]. He is a red-headed male dwarf.
Lazda has still not recovered from his mental trauma from his torture and was scaring the customers with his repeated visions of eyes following and hurting him. [[Vayle]] has offered to help by counseling him, and Brelda agreed.
