Hes is a changeling wererat and member of the Bilge Rats in Stormreach . [1]
History
At some point in his life, Hes became a worshiper of the Traveler to the point of becoming one of their adepts , learning to draw upon divine energy to both heal others and enhance his covert actions. [1]
He would go on to become a member of the Bilge Rats, a criminal organization in Stormreach with ties to the Boromar Clan , and became a member of its upper ranks. When one of the Bilge Rats was infected with lycanthropy , the disease spread through the organization—including Hes—turning them into wererats. [1]
Some time after the Last War , after the ebon tableau had been stolen from the Regvagu clan of sahuagin , Hes was hired by the Cabal of Shadows to help new members of the cabal locate the tableau in Stormreach. As he was considered a friend of the organization, the group were told to meet him in the Ship's Cat tavern whereupon he would act as their guide. [1]
Hes met with this group, in the guise of a young half-elf woman, warning them about the dangers of Xen'drik but also pointing them towards a local fence called Burgundy Clor , who operated out of the Red Ring . Hes had also been paid by the cabal to locate equipment or contacts for the group and, though he told them he would not risk his own neck for their work, he was willing to offer them the blessings of the Traveler by using the spells he knew to aid them. [1]
Around this same time, Hes had been made aware of a dwarven woman who had entered Stormreach in possession of a harp, the frame of which was designed to look like music notes, and coveted it greatly. When the group from the cabal were talking with Hes, he mentioned this harp to them in order to test the cabal's generosity, deciding that he would join the cabal himself should the group bring him what he desired.
