Nindil Jalbuck, a deceased lightfoot halfling and Masked Lord of Waterdeep, was killed and replaced by a doppelganger in 1372. Nindil was originally from Secomber but went to Waterdeep in search of fortune. Initially Nindil worked as thief but later became a spy and information broker. However, Nindil changed his life by opening the Garrulous Grocer, and so provided food out of his pocket to the many who were left homeless and destitute by the ravaging devils of Myrkul in 1358. Nearly a decade later, Nindil was selected to be a Lord. He spoke for the common folk of Waterdeep.
