Missing, and misunderstood.
Or was that his plan all along?
Living in the shadow of an infamous close relation is never easy. Whiskey was never really trusted - noone was ever sure if his "reconnaissance" missions yielded everything that he told them about.
And when he disappeared into the swamp, some breathed a slightly-guilty sigh of relief.
Who was Whiskey Rumkeg though, really?

What other characters have we had over time that may have disappeared, or died in mysterious circumstances?
And has there been any characters that may have had a secret history, or perhaps a destiny, that went unknown and unfulfilled?
TheDM.
Pretty sure he lost his soul playing loaded dice with Glantrian mages for a submarine. BIG mistake.
And yeah, Felonius was THE 'stuff taker' of his time.

Felonius sounds more likely to kill YOU and take YOUR stuff!
Zanathon and the sword that carried the spectre of his father...niiiiice.
What a way to end a campaign! (Let's hope it doesn't end the current one though hey?)
Didn't Cadman lose his soul on a gambling table somewhere, in a bid to win a flying ship?

What about Felonius & Zanathon!
Brothers that let a little tiff go too far.
Felonius enlisting the help of Morgar slew his brother in the wilderness only to find that their Paladin fathers spirit resided in the sword. The spectre slew Morgar and chased Felonius until he turned and fought to the death also. What a story!
Felonius carried the Staff of Solarius ( a funky staff that threw fireballs & stuff) and a girdle stolen from his master (yep, helped kill him also) that was an artifact and was his ticket to imortality.
I'm sure he is alive somewhere, you can't keep a guy like that down. We'll have to hunt him down and TAKE HIS STUFF.

Do we have any other "lost legends"?
The fabled "Girdle of Giant Strength" was quite the item in its day.
Djabanaba Puffed-Wheat Yindi was another legend in her own way.
The arch-nemesis Limman Albury hasn't been seen for a while.
Anything else for the Hall of Fame?

Taran has always regretted leaving Whiskey behind in that gods forsaken swamp.
He'd certainly be ready to assist in a rescue.

Rumour has it that Whiskey Rumkeg will one day return.
Legend has it that he was in possesion of a Ring of Regeneration and several other items of power when he was lost in the Malakaz Swamp, so he may yet live today.
Pan is thinking of mounting a rescue mission at the conclusion of this adventure for any who would dare the swamp again.
