The Colonel

 

Real Name: Harlan Mustard
Nicknames: Foghorn
Occupation: Fast food mogul; former military commander
Homeplane (born): unknown; (current): Sigil
Known Relatives: none
Group Membership: formerly McRonald’s Mercenaries

Background: Many, many years ago, King Burgermeister controlled the multiverse’s fast food enterprises with an iron hand, until his court jester, Ronald McRonald decided to crush the monopoly and pave the way for Free Enterprise. McRonald united several of the executive members of Burgermeister’s Royal Court of Directors, and hired a retired military leader, Colonel Harlan “Foghorn” Mustard, to lead his troops.
     The Fast Food Wars went on for a while, but eventually McRonald’s team won, and Colonel Mustard (preferring to be called simply “The Colonel”) was offered a position in the new McRonald Empire. The Colonel refused, and instead decided to open his own chain, serving friend farm fowl instead of the various forms of ground beef most of the others served.
     The Colonel is a common fixture in Sigil, doing almost all his business dealings in person.  Among other things, he owns Cormyr Cola Corporation, which has no operations (nor ever has) in Cormyr.  He also operates charity homes for terminally plot-sick children.

Appearance: The Colonel is a distinguished gentleman in his late 60s, with neatly combed and styled white hair, and a neatly combed and pointed white goatee. He always wears a white three-piece suit and well-shined white shoes. He is almost impeccably groomed and dressed, and will become quite irate at even the smallest hint of dust on his suit.

Role-playing the Colonel: The Colonel is a blustery and grumpy man with a thick, upper-class Southern drawl. He believes in chivalry and old South (south of what is uncertain) ethics, and will never behave harshly toward women, though men who annoy him are likely to be bludgeoned repeatedly with his walking cudgel.
     The Colonel is a man of his word, and will never break an agreement, written or verbal. He will attack mercilessly (with his lawyers) if an agreement with him is broken.

Comments: Instances of the Colonel using spells are in error (guest DM’s with no character sheets will do that), and are attributable to unseen associates helping him.
