I think I'd prefer something more straightforward.The idea is that Tholzar helps hunt down good drow who've escaped the Underdark. The PC, Elvraema, is the daughter of one such renegade. This is why she wants to get this guy.But perhaps he isn't necessarily doing this service willingly. What if he's being blackmailed into helping the evil drow hunt down their runaways. And maybe he doesn't kill them. Maybe he captures them for delivery back to Menzoberranzan or wherever.I'm thinking that, as a knight, it makes the most sense for Tholzar to be either an active or retired member of the Shield of Yartar, the city's defense/police force. If he has undead minions, I don't think they would openly accompany him when he goes about his business in the city. Instead, perhaps he keeps them hidden away in his home, and maybe he can summon them to him in times of need.This still doesn't get me much closer to a usable scenario, though. Let's see ...The PCs go to Yartar. They need to find Tholzar. They can openly ask around for him, but doing so might attract his attention. Or maybe they can attempt to contact the Hand of Yartar and find out about him without attracting any unwanted attention, but this will cost them.If Tholzar finds out that people are looking for him, maybe he goes in search of them to find out what they want. Or just sends spies to watch them. If he doesn't find out, then maybe the PCs can surprise him at his home (or at another place of their choosing).Or maybe they find out that he has caught someone and is going to be handing the renegade over to a drow party from Menzoberranzan at a specific time and place, and maybe they can disrupt this meeting. This way they could have the opportunity to rescue someone who might become a useful ally down the line.</blockquote>
