| Status | Active — political actor in Neverwinter |
| Location | Neverwinter |
The legitimate son and heir of Dagult Neverember. Known to his followers as the Cloaked Descendant — he claimed the true right to Neverwinter's throne against the imposter currently holding power.
The party initially worked against Ranaer on Lord (Fake) Neverember's orders, but came to understand he was actually the legitimate claimant. The imposter who summoned them didn't even want the Crown found — suggesting he knew Ranaer was right.
