He's missing two fingers on his left hand (hence the name) and has a scar across his throat from a near-hanging. • Clothing: Wears clothes stolen from a dozen different owners, none of which fit properly. His coat has seventeen hidden pockets. • Distinguishing Marks: His eyes are different colors—one green, one gold—from an experimental potion that was supposed to let him see in the dark.

Backstory
Guttersnipe was born in a junk heap and raised by rats—literally, a pack of fey rats took him in. He learned to steal to survive, to hide to live, and to sell information to thrive. He's built a network of informants across the Feywild and beyond, and there's very little he can't find out—for the right price.
Secret
He witnessed a murder committed by a high-ranking fey noble. He's been blackmailing them for years, but they're getting close to finding him. He's desperately trying to gather enough dirt on them to ensure his safety even if they catch him.
Story Hooks
- 1 He has information the PCs need, but he'll only trade it for help dealing with his blackmail situation
- 2 The noble he's blackmailing has hired assassins, and Guttersnipe needs protection while he prepares his insurance
