Kerren Firedrake is an aging councilman of Greyhawk City. In his younger days, he helped to outfit the expedition of Rogahn and Zelligar. In return, he was promised sovereignty over any lands they opened up for settlement.

There are rumors that Rogahn and Zelligar left because relations between themselves and Kerren had broken down. Certainly Kerren is not one to brook disagreement.
