Daven Skinner

Background
Davon Skinner is the leader of the adventuring company The Black Lodge. Davon Skinner is a former knight that lost his position in power after he had committed acts of rape, murder, and other horrible deeds.

Specifically Black Lodge takes jobs that are shady and frowned upon. Black Lodge is essentially the evil counterpart to Mystic Obscura. Black Lodge consists of other adventurers that are similar to Davon Skinner.

Davon was also revealed to be a Werewolf, shortly before his death.

Interactions With Mystic Obscura
While the group were meeting with Random the Red in a tavern in Waterdeep, Davon watched on hidden from a table, obviously looking for Random. Maximilian decidedly went over to him; after spotting Davon lurking at the other end of the inn. Distracting him, Davon asked Max; who's name he knew, to help them capture Red, for double the amount of gold. Max said he'd speak with his group to discuss, heading back them as the group pretended not to accept Random's offer, who they informed in secret that Davon was watching him, and that they would hunt down Drada. Davon and his hidden group left the inn then, satisfied that Mystic Obscura didn't accept the offer, and that they might have been in the process of thinking about his.

Davon sent another member of The Black Lodge, up north to track and spy on Mystic Obscura. Upon hearing of infiltration, and the capture of Ellywick, Davon and Issik argued over where to take the gnome, either to The Thieve's Guild in Neverwinter, or their employer in Waterdeep.

It was revealed he had been hiding in Fireshear, torturing a young airship captain and breaking Mystic Obscura's broken artifacts. After receiving word from his contractor, Xanathar, and with Mystic Obscura in the wind, Davon gathered men and traveled to Summervale Farm; Mystic Obscura's base, in Triboar. Having his men kidnap Emmalee Forester and take her to Xanathar as bait, Davon stayed at Summervale Farm, torturing the wizard Janak himself as payback to Mystic Obscura. Davon killed Darz Helgar upon the raid at the farm, as well as farm hands and a an ogre, resurrecting them to attack Mystic Obscura upon their entrance.

Davon pinned Janak up with a life stealing spell, before attacking Mystic Obscura. During the fight, after being disarmed by Adrie Ofandrus, Davon revealed his true form as that of a Werewolf. He viciously attacked Max and Ellywick, biting the latter and almost killing the former multiple times. As his un-dead minions fell after battling Eloithe, Aegon, Balasar and Max, Davon almost struck a killing blow upon Max, as Arannis intervened and slammed Davon unconsciously into the wall with magic. Davon was killed moments later as Ellywick got revenge for him killing Darz.
