Grig Ruddell is the first mate of the Brazen Pegasus, a fast sloop available for hire in Port Nyanzaru’s Harbor Ward. He is a hulking Illuskan human with a heavy, gray-streaked beard that nearly obscures his face.
Role and Demeanor
As first mate, Ruddell serves under Captain Ortimay Swift and Dark, a rock gnome who runs a smuggling operation. He is notably taciturn, speaking only to shout orders at the crew or converse in low tones with the captain. His sparse communication and imposing presence make him an intimidating figure aboard the ship.

The Brazen Pegasus can be chartered for 10 gp per day and is capable of transporting adventurers throughout Chult’s waters, though travelers should be prepared to pay tribute to the dragon turtle in the Bay of Chult and watch for pirates.
