(NPC) Smiley

Smiley is an old man, short of patience, bad of temper and a man of astonishingly few words. He runs the Smiley's Inn just outside the walls of Aldrose. He strives to do the bare minimum to provide his clientele with the city's cheapest, foulest Ale. If he doesn't like what you have to say or he simply doesn't like the way you breathe, he might toss you out so far the broken corner pillar of the house opposite gets an explanation.

His face is stern, his cheeks hollow and his eyes are droopy. He gives off an aura of stoic indifference. He doesn't answer questions, he doesn't acknowledge your presence unless there is coin on the bar table, which is replaced with a dirty tankard of ale.

Smiley is the proprietor of Smiley's and the only member of the staff. His room is upstairs of his inn.

Smiley, is in fact a demon of indiscernible type, class, power and origin. He will not show his form willingly and seems to go against the usual nature of demons as chaotic evil. He does not seek confrontation but does not shy from it. Players should not be put to roll initiative against him as he doesn't have a stat block. He should be used more of a curiosity for RP purposes than a combat encounter.

If his true form is revealed by any means (up to DM discretion), his visage is that of a large humanoid form demon with folded wings, horns, dark red skin tone and hoofs. On its face there is a ghastly smile full of needle teeth from ear to ear. He will simply and forcibly remove troublemakers from his establishment.
