Jebeddo Kreesp is a male gnome paladin who is currently the top dog in charge of the bandit camp located at the old lumber camp.  He is currently working as a mercenary at said camp, which is overseen by the Zhentirim for a 3rd party.

Jeb also has ties to Kiri’s group – at least, the heroes found a signet ring with that logo hidden in his quarters.  Additionally, despite being the one who orchestrated their capture (I mean, they literally walked in to his camp and tried to sell him goods they had stolen from …. their prisoners, who were members of his bandit group), he also was the one who help cover their bumbling attempts to escape on more than one occassion.
